Find hope and purpose as you discover that you’re right where you’re supposed to be.

Maybe you thought you’d be further along by now. Or have a different kind of life. Maybe you thought that relationship would have happened, that dream would have come true, that path would have opened up—and it didn’t. Or you feel stuck, behind, not sure if you made a wrong turn somewhere. You’re trying to make sense of what is, even if what “is” is not what you thought it would be. Or maybe you’re searching for a moment of peace before carrying on.

Getting Through What You’re Going Through by poet and writer Tanner Olson explores these ideas and offers you hope through it all. You don’t have to just “get through”; you can “go through”—all the ups and downs, disappointments, unexpected surprises—knowing that God is present and hope remains. In this collection of over one hundred poems and reflections, Tanner shows that God’s timing may be slow until it isn’t. Every day presents a gift to open. And hope is there to be found in the simplest things—a cup of coffee, a good friend, a single pancake.

If you’re feeling stuck, unsettled, or even just happy to be here, know that hope remains and you’re right where you’re supposed to be.

Words for the weary heart.

Tanner puts words and whimsy to the real and heavy of life while bringing hope and reminding us to wait on the Lord.

Encouragement from a friend

Tanner's style of writing and speaking is so natural! If you've ever felt like poetry is inaccessible because you don't understand it or the way it's read can sometimes feel too stylized, then you need to listen to this book! It's like hearing a friend share hope and encouragement over a cuppa at your favorite coffee shop.
