**Some of the most priceless gifts can be discovered while waiting for something else.**
We all spend precious time just waiting. We wait in traffic, grocery store lines, and carpool circles. We wait to grow up, for true love, and for our children to be born. We even wait to die. But while we work hard at this business of living, life can sometimes feel like one long, boring meeting. Even today, with instant gratification at our techno-laced fingertips, we can?t escape the waiting place. Somehow, in between our texting and tweeting and living and dying, we end up there again and again.
In the voice of an old friend or a wise-cracking sister, Eileen Button takes us back to the days of curling irons and camping trips, first loves and final goodbyes, big dreams and bigger reality checks. With heart-breaking candor she calls us to celebrate the tension between what we hope for tomorrow and what we live with today.
Chock-full of humor and poignant insights, these stories will make you laugh and cry. They'll challenge you to enjoy?or at least endure?the now. As Eileen has learned, ?To wait is human. To find life in the waiting place, divine.?
Come discover miracles in the mundane. Come celebrate life in *The Waiting Place*.

A lovely book that will make you smile, laugh and think
I absolutely loved this book! Eileen Button is a wonderful story teller, taking you through the different """"waiting rooms"""" that can be experienced in life. The way she writes is so easy to read and take in, and will have you looking at life in a different perspective by the end of it. It is a happy book that makes you feel good, while not being too """"churchy"""". It was like talking to a friend, page after page!

A MUST Read
I LOVE this book!!! This heart-warming collection of personal anecdotes will make you both laugh and cry, as you see reflections of your own life in them. While this book would be fantastic to carry with you to read a chapter during your personal 'waiting places', it is also easy enough to read straight through (which is what I like to do with all good books!). \\r\\n\\r\\nThe Waiting Place is a book that you will want to read over again and again. It is a book that you won't be able to keep silent about. Share it with your family, share it with your friends, but whatever you do - DON'T loan it out and expect to see it again - give it as a gift, use it as a blessing and if you lend it out and receive your copy back, consider yourself blessed as well. \\r\\n\\r\\nBuy it, Read it, LOVE it! And don't forget to bless someone else with it. \\r\\n\\r\\nNote: I received this book free from the publisher through the booksneeze. com book review bloggers program. I am not required to give a positive review, just an honest one. The opinions expressed are my own.
