Kingdom Come by Melissa Zaldivar

Our days often feel ordinary and ho hum. Sometimes it is hard to see God working in the midst of our ordinary lives. Melissa Zaldivar in Kingdom Come shares how we can find God's presence throughout our life today. He has not left us alone but we may need to look around to see Him at work.

Kingdom Come is a mix of Scripture and Zalidvar's personal experiences as she shares how she has found God working in her life through her experiences and the people she does life with. She helps us tell the difference between the temporary circumstances in our lives and the eternal.

Zaldivar's writing in Kingdom Come reads like getting together with an old friend. She seems to share intimately and from her heart throughout the book. I wasn't sure what to expect from this book when I got it, however I found I could relate to a lot of what she shared. She hooked me early in the book when she shared about how Steve Saint, son of Nate Saint, famous missionary martyred in the Amazon spoke at her college chapel and shared how God is good even through the hard things. I met Marge Saint, Steve's mother, as a young Christian and was influenced by her faith too. From there on, I felt like she was a bit of a kindred spirit. Zaldivar tells several hard stories from her own life and she shares some of the hard things that people in the Bible faced and how God was with them through it all. I found this book to be both quietly uplifting and encouraging. I would encourage you to read Kingdom Come and see if you can relate to Zaldivar too.

I received this book from the publisher. I was not required to write a review. All opinions are my own. #sponsored by Faithwords
