1-800-Hello-God: Calls from the Waiting Room of Life

Have you ever felt like you're stuck in life's waiting room, refreshing your email for that long-awaited "yes," only to be met with silence? Have you ever sent up a desperate prayer that sounded more like a voicemail, wondering if anyone on the other side is actually listening?

1-800-HELLO-GOD: Calls from the Waiting Room of Life is a raw, honest, and deeply funny companion for every soul caught in the in-between - that messy, uncomfortable space between where you are and where you thought you would be by now.

In these pages, you'll find stories that feel like conversations with a friend who truly gets it - the friend who knows what it's like to be ghosted by potential employers and by life itself. The friend who understands the sting of rejection emails, the awkward small talk at family gatherings, and the slow ache of unanswered prayers. And yet, this friend offers more than sympathy; he offers hope, laughter, and a gentle push to keep going.

Each chapter is framed as a call to God - raw, unfiltered, and often hilariously candid. You'll meet someone who debates paying rent with "faith points," who wonders if they should shrink their sparkle to fit in at the next job interview, who has a meltdown in the kitchen before realizing that God is right there in the crumbs and the chaos. You'll walk alongside a narrator who checks LinkedIn and feels like the only one not "thrilled to announce" something new, who finds unexpected blessings in couch cushions and random Venmo surprises, who learns to trust in the silent spaces and find purpose in the pauses.

This is not a book filled with easy answers, manifesting mantras, or step-by-step life hacks. Instead, it offers permission - permission to laugh when everything falls apart, to cry when hope feels far away, to grieve closed doors, and to celebrate the small, unseen victories that no one claps for.

It is a book for the ones who have been told to "trust the process" but secretly want to throw the entire process out the window. For the job seekers, dream chasers, silent servers, quiet warriors, and those who secretly whisper "just one good thing today" into their morning coffee. For every person who wonders if they're too much, not enough, or simply in the wrong story altogether.

Through it all, 1-800-HELLO-GOD reminds us that we are not forgotten. That God is not ignoring us or putting us on hold with cosmic elevator music. Instead, He is present in every waiting room moment, every meltdown, every surprise text of encouragement, and every slow, silent morning when you feel most alone.

If you've ever looked up at the ceiling and wondered, "God, are You even listening?" - this book is your reminder that He is not only listening but sitting beside you, whispering that you are loved, you are seen, and your story is far from over.

This is not just a book; it is a love letter to the weary and the hopeful, a call to keep showing up, and a gentle invitation to pick up the phone and discover that Heaven always picks up on the first ring.

Perfect for anyone in a season of waiting, searching, doubting, or rediscovering their faith - this book is your permission slip to breathe, laugh, cry, and believe that even the messiest chapters are leading somewhere beautiful.
