In this wise offering, pastor Tygrett (Becoming Curious) argues that moments of restlessness can spark personal growth. Restlessness isn’t a sign of a weakened faith, the author explains, but a normal spiritual stage that lets believers ask “good and desperate questions” that draw them closer to God. Restless believers might ask themselves, for instance, “where do I belong?” In response, Tygrett discusses how a sense of belonging with God can help readers gain strength when earthly forms of connection—to a political party, workplace, or a church community—fracture. The faithful might also agonize about their life’s purpose, but instead of wondering “what am I here for?” Tygrett urges getting at the “deeper question: what do truly love?” which connects to Jesus’s ultimate purpose for humans on earth—to love God, others, and oneself. Spiritual exercises cap each chapter, among them meditating on one’s “work, experiences, and choices” to discover what truly provides meaning. Tygrett’s tone is compassionate and nonjudgmental, and readers will be empowered by his assertions that personal and spiritual doubt should be embraced, not feared. Christians seeking an extra push on their spiritual quests should take a look.
