Library Journal's Best Nonfiction of 2024 "Cosper's honest appraisal of Church disagreements and his own spiritual uncertainty results in his joyful acceptance of his identity as an imperfect wounded healer. Essential reading for Christians who have lost hope." – Library Journal Starred Review, January 2024 Faith in the Wilderness Land of My Sojourn is a deeply personal, hope-filled story of faith, disillusionment, and coming back home. Through meditations on the spiritual significance of the mountains of the Bible and encounters with Peter, Elijah, and Jesus, Mike Cosper shares his own crisis of faith sparked by a painful church experience and the broader challenges facing evangelicalism today. Cosper, host of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill and Cultivated podcasts, examines the church's often troubled witness, its ongoing crisis of leadership, and the epidemic of narcissism, abuse, and cover-up that has continued to emerge year after year. This book is about Cosper's journey both before and undergirding that work—the shattering of dreams and the grace that restored a broken faith in the aftermath. It's a story about grace leading him home when he thought all was lost. If you've found yourself lost in the wilderness of doubt or disillusionment with church, Land of My Sojourn will remind you that you're not alone—and that God is working even in your hardest times. Cosper writes, "My hope is that as I tell this story you might find echoes of your own. I pray if you're in the wilderness, you might find that though the territory is a mystery, you are far from alone. Most of all, I pray that you rediscover that Jesus is chasing you like a lover . . . right through heaven's gates." Taken together, my encounters with Peter, Elijah, and Jesus connected to indelible images from my time in Israel and formed a new spiritual landscape in my mind, one with enough gravity to draw my feet back to solid ground. My hope is that as I tell this story you might find echoes of your own. I pray if you're in the wilderness, you might find that though the territory is a mystery, you are far from alone. Most of all, I pray that you rediscover that Jesus is chasing you like a lover . . . right through heaven's gates.
