Parched No More: Insightful Lessons from a Wilderness Experience

There are some lessons that cannot be learned in a classroom. In Parched No More, Jacqueline Garrett describes lessons that were learned through what she described as a wilderness experience. Adversity, loss, and pain can sometimes provide opportunities to reset and refocus our attention on God and deepen our intimacy with him. Seeking God in the midst of our problems and circumstances can bring refreshing and purposeful outcomes to guide us in the direction he has for us in our life’s journey.
