Synopsis

In this unabridged audio download edition of The Land Between, author Jeff Manion uses the biblical story of the Israelites’ journey through Sinai desert as a metaphor for being in undesired, transitional space. After enduring generations of slavery in Egypt, the descendants of Jacob travel through the desert (the land between) toward their new home in Canaan. They crave the food of their former home in Egypt and despise their present environment. They are unable to go back and incapable of moving forward. The Land Between explores the way in which the Israelites’ reactions can provide insight and guidance on how to respond to God during our own seasons of difficult transition. It also provides fresh biblical insight for people traveling through undesired transitions—foreclosure, unemployment, parents in declining health, post-graduate uncertainty, business failure—who are looking for hope, guidance, and encouragement. While it is possible to move through transitions and learn little, they provide our greatest opportunity for spiritual growth. God desires to meet us in our chaos and emotional upheaval, and he intends for us to encounter his goodness and provision during these upsetting seasons.

When someone suggested the book to me, I read a few pages and put it down. At the time I wasn't able to get into it. I had several things going on at once, none of which was more important than helping my daughter plan her wedding. I eventually picked up the book again, and I have to say that there'......more

Goodreads review by Lauren on December 07, 2024

This books gives insight on frustrating, difficult, and seemingly senseless life circumstances by sharing the story of Moses leaving Egypt and heading to the Promised Land. The author explains how the “in-between” is on purpose; it may even be one of the sweetest places of transformative growth in h......more

Goodreads review by Paul on March 26, 2025

This book describes the difficulties of growth during times of difficult transitions. While it rings true, and there are comforts of a hopeful future, it doesn't remove the necessity of the hard training ground of the land between. The land between where you came from and the land God is leading you......more

Goodreads review by Micaela on January 18, 2024

I really loved this book! Someone suggested this book to me almost a year ago when I was in the middle of a few big transitions and I finally picked it up. I feel like the author does a great job of bringing in biblical truths to relatable situations that can help with a lot of seasons. It didn’t fe......more
