Al Carraway is an optimist by nature. But in her book, Wildly Optimistic, she explains that being optimistic doesn't mean you're happy all the time or those bad days don't come! It means that even on hard days, you know that it won't last, and better ones are coming. It means you're proactive in your moments of crumbling and look for lessons and opportunities and light. With her trademark honesty, optimism, and love for the Lord, Al shares how we can be hopeful even when He is silent when too much time passes, when it's not what we wanted, when things don't work out, and when we want to give up. When we remember that we have the most powerful Being in existence on our side, even during our struggles, we can have peace. It turns out, with God, we have every reason to be wildly optimistic! In this warm, conversational follow-up to her bestsellers, Al Carraway tackles the hardest seasons of faith: when it's hard, when we doubt, when God makes us wait or seems silent, and when life isn't what we wanted. Drawing on her own dramatic conversion, cross-country moves, unemployment, and public-speaking travels, she pairs raw personal honesty with scripture stories to argue that God is always good, always present, and leading us to something better than we planned. From the bestselling author of More Than the Tattooed Mormon—comes Wildly Optimistic about the seasons when faith is hardest. She lost her family, her friends, and slept on a floor wrapped in a towel to follow God—and learned He was leading her somewhere better all along. “Never let a change of course take away from the unchangeable truth that God is taking care of you.” Perfect for anyone going through a hard season—unemployment, singleness, a move, doubt, or feeling like an outsider—who wants honest encouragement rather than tidy answers.
