“Elizabeth Turnage is a woman of grit and grace who lives into the stories of those who join her in this odd journey of seeking God. She honors the complexity of life without ever losing sight of the simple glory of the cross.

Her book will be a clarion call to bring our broken, holy, troubled, and glorious life to the author of all stories: Jesus.”
