Even the Sparrow

A Pilgrim's Guide to Prayer, Trust and Following Jesus

Author: Jill Weber

A warm and witty invitation to coming into God's presence from a House of Prayer leader

What would happen if we lived out of a loving encounter with God and built in response to what He revealed? How can we make space to hear God and surrender to Him? What if being a leader is all about being a follower? Is it really that simple?

These are the questions that have led Jill Weber on the adventure of saying yes to more of God - the invitation to really live. This honest, warm, and compelling book speaks directly to those who long to deeply encounter Jesus, to know how to tune into the small movements of the heart, and to have trust in every moment of their lives.

Even the Sparrow is both an invitation and a challenge. To walk step-by-step as God leads may take us on paths that are at turns messy, complicated, and inconvenient, but as we follow Him, the way can also be unexpected and breathtakingly beautiful.
