The Hidden Years: How God Prepares His Servants in Secret Before He Uses Them in Public

Product Description

There is a question almost every serious believer carries, sometimes for years. Why has nothing happened yet? The calling still burns in your heart. You have prayed over it, sought God about it, and prepared as best you know how. Yet the door stays shut while others step through theirs, the years move on, and the silence presses in.

In that silence a quiet fear takes shape. It is the fear that you have been passed over, that your moment has come and gone, that God has set you on a shelf and forgotten your name.

The Hidden Years was written for you. It traces one pattern through the whole of Scripture, from the patriarchs to the apostles. Before God ever uses a servant in public, He prepares that servant in secret. The hidden season is not a delay, and it is not a punishment. It is the method of God, the forming of the vessel before it is filled.

Chapter by chapter, this book walks fifteen lives through the same five marks of the making: the hidden season, the stripping, the forming, the testing, and the stepping out. You will meet Abraham in his long wait for the promise, Joseph in the pit and the prison, Moses in the desert of Midian, and David in the sheepfold, and you will come at last to the Lord Jesus, who embraced thirty hidden years before three public ones.

By the final page you will read your own waiting with new eyes, and trust the God who has begun a good work in you and will surely finish it.

John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

Who It Is For

This book is for the believer in a hidden, waiting, or preparatory season.

It is written for the reader who wants more than comfort, and who longs to understand what God is doing.
