"Jason Gaboury's witness to the disturbingly universal experience of loneliness cuts right to the heart of what it means to be human-what it means to enter this unwelcomed, unavoidable, yet potentially sacred meeting place. He guides us to consider loneliness as a fount from which spiritual intimacy flows as we exchange empathy with God, both offering and receiving from the other. Readers will be drawn into authentic prayer and reflection, and then gently sent back into a world drowning in the confusion of loneliness with new vision for the possibilities of this strange phenomenon's dark gifts."
David L. Booram, cofounder and director of Fall Creek Abbey, coauthor of When Faith Become
"Jason Gaboury has written a masterful book, Wait with Me, on the theme of loneliness. He takes us on a journey that is biographical, exegetical, and imaginative. From Genesis to the Gospels, Jason describes loneliness as a human condition God uses for our transformation and his transcendent purposes in us. This is an invitation into the ultimate antidote for loneliness-communion with God and biblical community."

"In these pages, you won't find an easy solution to the 'problem' of loneliness. What Wait with Me offers instead is far wiser and more daring: an invitation into deeper life with the God who eagerly inhabits our isolation and lingers with us there. For anyone who knows firsthand the slow-bleeding pain of loneliness, this honest and hopeful and paradigm-bending book is worth pondering, worth lingering on."
