Summary

Read by the author.

Your right now matters. Discover how to press in and not check out.

Do you ever feel like your present moment is so far from where you really long to be? Do you ever struggle with embracing your right now because you are so focused on the future?

Too often, we feel disappointed with our "right now"—our life circumstances, our relationships, our lack progress towards our dreams and goals, our daily grind. We want to do so many things—good, godly things—but our situations don't allow us to step into them.

In Now and Not Yet, bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons has a powerful message for you when you're restless in your current season of life and just waiting—waiting to get beyond the pain, waiting for God to show up, waiting to get to tomorrow—she reminds you that it's okay to not like the right now we've been given, but we don't have to like it to lean in.

Join Ruth as she shares a beautiful invitation for you to:

  • Embrace the biblical truth that someday is made up of thousands of right nows
  • Discern how the difficult parts of your life are actually a unique gift from God by discovering five ways to flip the script on a hard season
  • Stop feeling trapped when you're not where you want to with guided liturgies for what you are facing today
  • Live faithfully in the tension between what is and what is not yet

Now and Not Yet will help you see that your right now matters. And you can choose to press in and not check out. With deep compassion, Ruth will help you see how God is profoundly present, how He wastes nothing, how He’s active and using this exact moment for the very purposes he's calling you to.

Templates and Scripture references can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Beautiful and encouraging

A beautiful book full of wisdom, insight and encouragement. I loved the blend of relatable personal stories, Biblical truth, and practical application. Ruth encourages us that where we find ourselves is the perfect place to press into all that God has for us, and that no moment or situation is ever wasted. A compelling listen. Highly recommend.
