Have you faced profound loss, received devastating news, navigated career changes, or encountered financial hardships? Have you questioned your faith in God during these times? Where have you sought hope and direction? Have you wondered how to find God in the midst of it all?

When the Madden family tragically lost their firstborn son in infancy, they embarked on a journey to discover God amidst their grief and continued to seek His presence thereafter. In Breathless Haste: Finding God in Ordinary Life, they share thirty diverse stories of encountering God in everyday moments — from the mundane to the miraculous: in sorrow, at a McDonalds, through music, poetry, a cassette tape, creation, a scrapbook, an old digital clock, a bankruptcy case and beyond. Each story bears witness to a living God actively involved in their lives, offering a profound testimony that the modern world desperately needs.

With over 25 years of ministry experience in churches in South Carolina, Chicago, and Atlanta, Jay and Rebecca Madden have dedicated themselves to guiding others on their spiritual journey in churches, neighborhoods, and groups. They currently serve at one of the largest Presbyterian churches in the United States, with Jay as Executive Pastor and Rebecca as Women's Ministry Director. Their ministry is to inspire and empower others to awaken their own heart, mind, and soul to encounter an extraordinary God in their ordinary day.

Through the vulnerability of their personal stories, practical insights, and thought-provoking questions in each chapter, Breathless Haste will strengthen your hope, expand your trust in God, fuel your faith, and stimulate your imagination with fresh ways to discover and experience God's guidance, peace, and purpose in your own life.
