Blending her own experience with an intimate grasp of spirituality, Sue Monk Kidd relates the passionate and moving tale of her spiritual crisis, when life seemed to have lost meaning and her longing for a hasty escape from the pain yielded to a discipline of “active waiting.” Full of wisdom, poise, and grace, Kidd’s words will encourage us along our spiritual journey, toward becoming who we truly are. Review: The best book. - Absolutely the best book I’ve read in a very long time. I’ve practically highlighted the whole thing, and even posted quotes from the book around my house. Each time I pick it up to read I just need to sit and dwell and soak in what I just read. It’s encouraging and motivating! The Lord really spoke to me through this book, and it was just what I needed. Review: A must-have for any life shift/painful/scary development or 'dark night' - NOT true about being only 4 traditional Christians - Don't let the various reviews' comments about being for mid-life crises and/or traditional Christians only put you off as I & friends of very different ages & life stages & challenges all found this book incredibly helpful & powerful & so wonderfully soothing - the perfect balm for any wounding or challenges or scary developments that might occur in life. Although her writing does include some Christian references, I was very impressed by the depth of spirituality and understanding she brings to it i.e. part of what makes the book so special is her bringing much greater depth of understanding and authenticity to what it's all about. I am so glad that her exquisite writing style in "the secret life of bees" made me look for more books written by her as I found this book infinitely more powerful and even more of a joy to read in every way. Note that although I loved the writing style and hence journey that unfolded in the "... bees" novel so much that she's one of the few authors I went to look for more books by, I didn't think her tale-spinning abilities were quite as strong as some gifted story-tellers. So I personally think her writing strengths and power of insights and understanding are infinitely better conveyed in this book than in "... bees". However, I'm glad she is writing novels also as those can hopefully open up a greater audience for the incredible power and depth of all she can share with us. She is definitely somebody I'd want to hear more from and feel blessed to have discovered. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #66,289 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #238 in Religious Leader Biographies #471 in Inspirational Spirituality (Books) #1,842 in Christian Spiritual Growth (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,252 Reviews | ## Images ![When the Heart Waits: Spiritual Direction for Life's Sacred Questions (Plus) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819ZzOCE8cL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best book. *by D***A on April 10, 2026* Absolutely the best book I’ve read in a very long time.

It made me gain much appreciation for the notion of waiting on God in the in-between seasons of life! This book is also full of personal stories from Sue Monk Kidd and insights as to why living the questions of life is necessary. I recommend this book to all who need a fresh perspective and insight into waiting on God. ## Frequently Bought Together - When the Heart Waits: Spiritual Direction for Life's Sacred Questions (Plus) - The Dance of the Dissident Daughter: A Woman's Journey from Christian Tradition to the Sacred Feminine - The Book of Longings: A Novel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/8209110-when-the-heart-waits-spiritual-direction-for-lifes-sacred-questions](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/8209110-when-the-heart-waits-spiritual-direction-for-lifes-sacred-questions) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-31*
