by Travis Vangsnes (Author)
"We spend a great deal of time and energy chasing safety and comfort. If you caught a glimpse of a madman dashing past you going the 'wrong way' it was probably Travis. He has run headlong into the murky cloud of pain and despair and has sent this book as a correspondence to us from the gloom to inform us of an amazing discovery- Jesus is already there! This begs the question- who, in fact, was running the 'wrong way'? This book is an engaging and easy read that does not shy away from the hard, messy questions that we all have if we are honest enough to ask them." --Everett Conaway
Through personal stories and reflections, Redemption's Echo reminds us that God is always masterfully at work using and repurposing our lives, our mess ups, and even the "ordinary" events in the everyday to create jaw dropping moments of beauty, hope, and redemption in and around us. In God's script, the "weakest" among us can teach us about great strength, little kids can teach us what big faith looks like, and the suffering we face can help re-energize our faith.
Throughout the book, Travis reinforces the truth of how the gospel frees us from the futility of religious self effort and performance. He also reminds us how regularly reflecting on our own rescue by Jesus is a game changer that should fuel our motivation to love and serve those around us with deeper grace and stronger compassion.
With profound thoughts on joy in suffering from the author's brain-injured brother (who cannot speak!) and stories of God showing up dramatically in unexpected places like farming and foster care, Redemption's Echo will change how you view your own life's events and everyday stories in light of God's greater purposes.
