Wild in the Hollow

On Chasing Desire and Finding the Broken Way Home

De: Amber C. Haines

Narrado por: Amber C. Haines

Amber Haines is a woman haunted by God. Like Eve in the Garden, she craved the fruit that she thought would lead her to freedom. But the whispers of temptation led her instead down a devastating path toward isolation, dissatisfaction, and life-altering choices. In her most broken moment, Amber met God waiting for her in the fallout, freely offering her grace and life. This is a story of the God who makes himself known in broken places.

In prose that is at once lyrical and utterly honest, a brave new voice takes listeners on a windswept journey down the path of brokenness to healing, satisfaction, and true intimacy with God. Amber calls listeners to dispense with the pretty bows we use to dress up our stories and instead trust God to take our untidy, unfinished lives and make them free, authentic, and whole. Anyone who struggles with doubt or holds secrets, anyone who feels marginalized or like she is missing something, will find in Amber a sister and an inviting voice back home, into the heart of God.

LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK

I Loved everything about it!!! A wonderful genuine story about a girl finding her way Home

TRANSFORMATIONAL

Must read for any woman who has ever struggled or currently struggling- which is all of us. It gives you courage, strength, love and new eyes for becoming one with God through the rubble of life.

Must read for the heart

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, because I wanted time to digest different portions and some of the poignant truths she shared and reflect on how her words resonated in my own life.

Any additional comments?

Beautifully written and poignantly honest as she shared her journey of falling away and being drawn back to the Savior and His church. Amber C. Haines narrated her writing so beautifully and authentically, as if we were in the same room.

Enjoyable and honest book.

This is a wonderful poetic book. The story met me as a good friend in hard times. It is healing to go on a real journey and see that I am not alone in the mess of my life.

Good

I love you, Amber. You did something beautiful here. I am so proud of you.

Sticks with you.

Amazing! Amber reads her own book and hearing it in her own voice makes it that much more powerful. Amber's beautiful language and weaving together the events of her life into themes means you remember it long after you've heard the last word.

Just …WOW!

I was apprehensive that this would be one of those books that would start out beautiful and end in bitterness. (Quite frankly, I am sick and tired of people who wallow in their pool of self-pity about how “God and the church done them wrong”. Those types of books are hopelessly despairing …this book is NOT one of them!)

“Wild in the Hollow” is both written and narrated masterfully. Amber C. Haines truly has the gift of artistry through word.

A five plus star rating and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! You will finish this book with your cup overflowing with hope, encouragement, and joy!

I love, and feel loved more!

Thank you for sharing Amber. By sharing your life's stories, it's helped me see Jesus inside my own struggles.

Totally raw and honest.

This book spoke to my heart. Her honesty, walking through her life trials, joys and God- experiences.
Chapters 14-16 un-did me. I’ll never be the same!

Beautifully written and relatable

I appreciate the author's life story, especially as it is only a stone's throw of a difference from mine. Her battles have been hardwon and her fight so very real. I even more appreciated her recanting her vulnerable soul (heart/mind) processes.. perhaps the heart of all of our matters.
I had selected this book because of the reviews. I am in one of my great life battles, the long way around my own mountain, and am especially in need of connection and motivation. I personally do not feel driven to conquer now my own, nor that I am closer-connected to the Lord. It may be just what my struggle will be right now, and no book aside the Word will draw me there. I had just hoped to be inspired to lessen the gap, especially based on my interpretation of the reviews. Beautiful woman, sister, and story. Just could've used this teeny bit of free time to gain some clarity.. and read this book to celebrate once I got there..
