About this audiobook

Jacob set up a stone. Hagar gave God a name. Hezekiah took the letter that terrified him and spread it out in the temple. Nehemiah prayed one sentence in the middle of a conversation with a king. Jesus got up before light and went somewhere alone. None of it is impressive. A rock under a head. A thread on a coat. A sheet of paper. Four seconds while a king waited. And none of these people were in better conditions than you. Jacob was running from a brother who wanted to kill him. Hagar was pregnant, on foot, and owned by someone else. Hezekiah was about to lose his city. They did not have margin. They turned in the position they were in. This is a short book of ten of those things, one per chapter. Each gives the passage in full, what actually happened, what the person did, what it shows about God, and — where there is one — the ordinary version available now. For anyone who wants to be near God and keeps forgetting to turn.
