You Are Not Alone

Read an ARC from NetGalley
This is a book that looks at what it means to be lonely but also what it means to know that we are never truely alone when we have a relationship with God.
This is a study of how we can see through out the Bible that God is with us even in the times that we personally feel alone. That doesn't always mean in just a physical sense either. Through out this book we are given references to six affirmations (God's Promise, God's Perception, God's Purpose, God's Presence, God's Provision, and God's Perspective.)
I want to commend Elisa Morgan for the research and time that went into this book because it felt like there was a lot of hard work and biblical study put into this book. I think that she did accomplish what she set out to do, but I don't know that it worked for me.
I can see where this book could be extremly helpful to those who don't have a close relationship with God and are trying to find a book that helps them find their way to a closer relationship to him.
For me this book just reaffirms things that I already know and I was hoping that I was going to get some new insight. I think also at the time in my life where I am trying to deconstruct my faith and doing a lot of self reflection and trying to discern what it is I believe and not just what I have been taught/ conditioned to believe that this book didn't really help me.
I do think that this is a great place for someone who is new to their faith and is struggling to pick up and learn some of these biblically based truths about who God is and what God wants a relationship with us to look like.
