Synopsis

When the initial shock waves begin to settle after a job loss, a diagnosis, a relationship breakdown, a season of grief or intense change, or a jarring shift in faith or identity, we find ourselves in the crisis after the crisis—the aftermath of whatever it is that has splayed our hearts wide open. These lonely, liminal spaces between who we were and who we're becoming are disorienting and confusing. It can be hard to hold on to hope when our bearings feel illusive.

But crises aren't just events that happen to us; they are catalysts—turning points—that happen around and within us, demanding we grow into a new version of ourselves. There is worth to be found in these liminal spaces, but we have to pause long enough to absorb what the middle actually is—put some language around it, locate ourselves within it, and orient ourselves to its disposition and ambition.

In the exhausting tension between here and there where pain and confusion feel loud, Adriel Booker helps you perceive God's quiet kindness that has been there all along, hidden in plain sight on the underside of crisis, change, and all the spaces in between. Adriel lights a candle in your darkness and companions you as you adjust to the low light and begin to apprehend the reality that you're already tethered to hope—even when you feel anything but.

I read Adriel Booker's writings on Substack religiously. She captivates me with her words of wisdom, peace and, frankly, with words that I could imagine Jesus saying. Not the words of the ludicrous Jesus of the American fascists, but the Jesus who gave us the Sermon on the Mount and the Jesus whose......more

Goodreads review by Matthew on April 16, 2026

Tethered to Hope speaks directly to what Booker calls the “crisis after the crisis”—that disorienting space after loss, change, or upheaval where life doesn’t feel normal anymore, but isn’t fully rebuilt yet. Rather than rushing readers toward resolution, the book lingers in that in-between space and......more

Goodreads review by Lauren on April 02, 2026

I am very grateful to have read this book early as a part of the launch team. Thank you NetGalley and Baker for making it possible! What a tender and gentle invitation to see where God already is (with us) in our in-between spaces. Rather than offer simple solutions, Adriel instead is an empathetic c......more
