what readers are saying
Jane is a gifted teacher and student of the Bible even more than she is a writer and soul inspiring woman of faith.
This book was a joy to read, a welcomed challenge to dig into, and a tear-jerking inspirational story that is woven throughout embracing grief, hope, and white-knuckle faith.
The book is not a memoir - although you will get to know Jane well as she opens up into the most vulnerable parts a woman can go. This book is a story of a woman who trusted God, dug in deep, leaned into Him in every way a woman should (AND shows you how), and came out the other side shouting from the rooftops of all that our God can do.
Whether you are in a dark place in need of hope, or in the harvest, Jane demonstrates and teaches readers how to lean in and trust the Lord through it all. Part study guide, part conversation over coffee, part soul digging inspiration this book is a must-have for any woman seeking a closer relationship with the Lord. Jane’s book will meet you in the gap.
I have bought Jane's other "book" a 9-week Devotional, Treasures of Darkness. This book + that guide have transformed the way I look at the trails in my life and truly the way I prepare myself for the trials to come.
Jane delivers her story in such a raw way, you yourself feel pieces of what she went through. You rejoice with her and mourn with her and find hope with her through this book! And at the end, Jane lays out how she herself prepared her heart and walked through some of the darkest points in her life.
The bible study guides have transformed the way I read and interpret scripture. They have helped me deepen my relationship with God and have helped my love for His word grow!! I encourage all y'all, no matter what season of life you're in, to read this book and begin digging wells for the drought.
This book has been a great resource for me as I learn more on how to study the Bible. I find myself looking through some of the pages to provide me guidance. I also LOVE Jane's faith and the story God wrote for her life. What an awesome God story, I was so blown away by it.
I LOVE THIS BOOK. I originally got it for the subtitle “Discovering Truth to Seasons of Waiting.” Not only does she share her season of waiting and her heart, she TEACHES you how to dig your well deep into scripture and find those truths for yourself. I love that it wasn’t just a book of truths for her story, though I would have loved that too, but that she breaks down HOW to study scripture and find those truths for yourself. I will read this again and again!
I bought this book after finding the abbreviated version on the Bible app. I am so glad I did! Jane Johnson’s story, along with her detailed lessons on studying scripture have reshaped my quiet time. She gives valuable insights and lessons in digging deeply into God’s word. Whether you are in a dry, stormy, or peaceful season of life, this book is a must-read!
This book by Jane Johnson isn’t just life changing, it’s spiritually transforming. She teaches you HOW to study scripture for yourself by digging into cross references as well as the original Hebrew and Greek. Words are my love language (English major 🙋🏼♀️) and I’m convinced we would be more excited about the Bible if we truly understood the deep rich meanings of the actual words that were written.
I’ve started using her in-depth and I mean IN-DEPTH studying techniques and I just can’t get enough of this absolutely beautiful Love Letter from God. (I started digging in during Fletcher’s nap-time and before I knew it almost two hours had passed! And I wanted even more time to discover all the treasures God laid out for me to find!)
If you want a fire set in your soul and your bones to come alive, and a renewed passion for the Bible, I highly HIGHLY recommend reading this book and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform the way you look at Scripture.
Thank you, Ann Voskamp, for having Jane on your blog recently. As i read the post, and then more about this book, I knew it was one I needed. I've been "rationing" myself in reading through the book, as I want to be intentional with every word. Not only is Jane's personal story of waiting on God encouraging for every person who has been waiting for Him to come through, but her clear and specific guidance in teaching others to truly study God's word has been a gift beyond measure.
The most important book in my walk with God and In my journey to studying scripture. Jane digs so deep and really brings out a lot of things that I didn’t expect. She’s thorough and engaging. As a lover of bible studies, this is by far my very favorite I’ve ever done.
I read this book in less than a week, so good! Despite being a college student and not facing some of the same obstacles Jane has, her story has inspired me to be brave in my walk with Christ and to put all my trust in Him.
10/10 recommend this book for you and your girl friends to read together!
The question of how to recognize God’s voice speaking in your life is a tricky one to answer.
This is the very best way I can describe it for me. What does it feel like for you?

Now, I’m going to go cry in the corner because this is all actually happening!
When sharing our story, I’m incredibly cautious to not promise something to women that God has not specifically promised them Himself. (After losing my best friend to cancer, I’m very well aware of the stories in which God chooses not to perform the miracle inside of your body.)
So I was really unsure of what part of our story to lean into last weekend as I prepared to speak at @hannah.g.barnett. When I asked, I felt God keep saying “I’ll tell you when you get there.” Okay, God. That’s kind of a lot.
And then I met a woman inside the museum of Elvis Presley’s birthplace. And God reminded me again that, whether or not He chooses to perform that miracle inside of your body, just believing He CAN do the impossible is enough.
I didn’t intend to, but I just sort of took the entire month of January off of social media and it has ended up being the very best way to kick off this year with a chance to rest and breathe and hide from the world for a minute.
I’m also a little bit gobsmacked because I only realized in the last week that this month marks the 10-year anniversary of the first answer to our big, 10-year-long prayer.
That feels big. Really big. I don’t quite know how we got here so fast, and I don’t quite have any words for any of it. But I do know that I want to spend this entire month spotlighting that, honoring it, and piling the glory back onto God because it feels like I’ve only barely scratched the surface.
I spent the weekend with some incredible women this weekend who are all very well-acquainted with the kind of waiting sorrow I was so familiar with. I started the introduction of my first message yesterday morning with this truth and this point alone could have ended the entire conference. 😭
So, to the woman whose womb is painfully empty: I see you. I know you. I was you. Come to Jesus and drink. He will fill that emptiness in more ways than you can possibly imagine… if you let Him.
Merriest Christmas from our little family to yours. 🎄
