The Land Between

Finding God in Difficult Transitions

By: Jeff Manion

Narrated by: Jeff Manion

In this unabridged audio download edition of The Land Between, author Jeff Manion uses the biblical story of the Israelites’ journey through Sinai desert as a metaphor for being in undesired, transitional space. After enduring generations of slavery in Egypt, the descendants of Jacob travel through the desert (the land between) toward their new home in Canaan. They crave the food of their former home in Egypt and despise their present environment. They are unable to go back and incapable of moving forward. The Land Between explores the way in which the Israelites’ reactions can provide insight and guidance on how to respond to God during our own seasons of difficult transition. It also provides fresh biblical insight for people traveling through undesired transitions—foreclosure, unemployment, parents in declining health, post-graduate uncertainty, business failure—who are looking for hope, guidance, and encouragement. While it is possible to move through transitions and learn little, they provide our greatest opportunity for spiritual growth. God desires to meet us in our chaos and emotional upheaval, and he intends for us to encounter his goodness and provision during these upsetting seasons.

Not answers

This was a good listen. He talks about the places in life you don’t want to be in and then focuses on what good can come out of a situation that seems to have no upside.

COMPLETELY RELEVANT TO 2020

This book's ability to teach lessons from the Bible, a book so well known to many, through everyday life occurrances makes the Old Testament stories relevant and breathing. It is refreshing to understand not only WHY these stories were provided by God, but also that EVERYONE can learn, no matter how old, from our good and gracious Father in Heaven. I will be using this book to lead a life group about the transitions and "wandering" through life in the time of Corona, 2020. Without a current solution or end in sight, having perspective as to God's presence through our current struggles will be one that uplifts and bolsters those who feel alone and isolated, confused and scared. I am so excited to share this book with others.
