“The Waiting Room is both haunted, and haunting.”—Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of March The Waiting Room unfolds over the course of a single, life-changing day, but the story it tells spans five decades, three continents, and one family’s compelling history of love, war, and survival As the daughter of Holocaust survivors, Dina’s present has always been haunted by her parents’ pasts. She becomes a doctor, emigrates, and builds a family of her own, yet no matter how hard she tries to move on, their ghosts keep pulling her back. A dark, wry sense of humor helps Dina maintain her sanity amid the constant challenges of motherhood and medicine, but when a terror alert is issued in her adopted city, her coping skills are pushed to the limit. Interlacing the present and the past over a span of twenty-four hours, The Waiting Room is an intense exploration of what it means to endure a day-to-day existence defined by conflict and trauma, and a powerful reminder of just how fragile life can be. As the clock counts down to a shocking climax, Dina must confront her parents’ history and decide whether she will surrender to fear, or fight for love.

When a diagnosis of prostate cancer sends Jake and Darlene into turmoil, their new normal includes sitting in a lot of waiting rooms. They constantly find themselves having to wait for tests, test results, and doctor’s reports. They also create waiting rooms in their own minds where they struggle with fear, anxiety, and worry. Since an appointment isn’t necessary to see the Great Physician, they go to Him often and sit with Him in His waiting rooms of grace, hope, trust, praise, and prayer. And when they ask Him to heal Jake, the Lord responds: “Wait.” Over time Jake’s body grows weaker, but his faith in Jesus remains strong as he recalls a faithful, loving, and trustworthy God. How will this story end? Will Jake experience healing while in this waiting room called life? Or will his healing come when the Lord calls him home?

Whether you are the caregiver or the patient, the what-if’s of the waiting room can feel terrifying, and the wait can feel agonizing. Cancer, tumor, stroke, traumatic injury, or major surgery—a health crisis of any kind involves waiting. This waiting arouses many emotions: fear, uncertainty, sorrow, agony, and anger among them. In this devotional for caregivers and patients, Elizabeth Reynolds Turnage reminds us of the certain hope and surpassing peace of the gospel: God has worked miraculous deeds and redemptive wonders in the past, and Jesus will “soon” come again to end our wait, and to bring full and final healing. These sixty meditations for peace and hope will encourage you as you wait. “This brilliant book is a tender gift of the presence of God for those caught in the deep woods of medical uncertainty. Elizabeth Turnage offers a wisdom that has been hard won, meets the test of the gospel, and is beautifully and brilliantly written. Dan B. Allender PhD Professor of Counseling Psychology and Founding President The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology “Elizabeth meets us in the waiting room as an empathetic friend reminding us what is true in His Word and urging us to listen to the refreshing lyrics of the gospel.” Karen Hodge Coordinator of Women’s Ministries Presbyterian Church in America (PCA)

Mary Morris, the acclaimed author of Nothing to Declare, the remarkable journal of a woman traveling alone, now brings us an absorbing and evocative novel of healing and forgiveness, love and war. THE WAITING ROOM is the intricate tale of three generations of women whose lives have been shaped by the essential experience of all women, that of waiting—for love to grow stronger, for wars to end, for life to move ahead. In its richly woven texture, its movements through time and space, the novel introduces us to the unforgettable members of the Coleman family: Zoe, who returns home after years away to confront her brother Badger’s break with reality—the result of taking too many drugs in Canada, where he fled to avoid the Vietnam War; June, Zoe’s mother, who first suffered a deep estrangement from her husband when he returned from World War II; and Naomi, the grandmother, who fled the pogroms of Russia. From the Home on the Road Motel to Badger’s residence at the austere Heartland Clinic, from the plains of the Midwest to the swamps of Florida, three women confront men, madness, dreams, and ultimately one another. Filled with humor and the wisdom of generations, THE WAITING ROOM is a novel of hope in the face of loss, of war and its casualties. It is also about freeing oneself from the dark side of waiting, and escaping into the light of love. Written in a magical, almost fablelike manner, and with the inimitable humor that informs the fiction of Mary Morris, THE WAITING ROOM fulfills the promise of Morris’ earlier work, which, from the start, has distinguished the author as a unique American voice.

Brent, a fourteen-year-old boy who loves baseball, playing the violin, and delivering papers, is severely beaten by a gang of four boys for an indiscretion he didn't commit in the year 1972. He awakens from a coma and catatonic state after more than three years. He has an amazing tale to share about the time he spent in the Waiting Room, a place spirits go to await disposition while their bodies are in a coma or catatonia. While in the Waiting Room, Brent learns to love God's Word and reads and studies it with fervor. In the meantime, his family, who'd like nothing better than to punish the four boys, now in prison, experiences changes in their lives that lead to changed hearts and the capacity for forgiveness. The four gang members also experience changed hearts, despite terrible things that happen to them while in prison. This is a story of how God changes hearts and how even badly wronged people can have a spirit of forgiveness, if only they have the strength of will to ask God for it. Brent begins his God-given commission of telling the people about God's love and forgiveness after his spirit is returned to his body and he awakens from his catatonic state. His first assignment is as the guest speaker at the high school graduation, which would have been his graduating class if he hadn't spent more than three years of his life in a catatonic state. Though his family is relieved that the entire ordeal is over, Brent knows that it's not. In fact, it is just the beginning.
