Description: We all experience times of hiddenness, when our potential is unseen and our abilities unapplauded. This book redeems those times by reminding us that though we often want to rush through these anonymous seasons of the soul, they hold enormous power to cultivate character traits that cannot be developed any other way!
Details: it's an amazing book, and can't really be summed up in a review. the simplicity of the truth in a beautiful reflective piece by a woman who just invites the reader along on a walk.
Enlightening in the fact that it's the simple stuff that we are reminded of, the essence of the simplicity of the Jesus following way.
Powerful in drawing the reader back to the building blocks that help to anchor during the difficult periods in our lives.
I have been profoundly moved and have been sharing this book avidly with friends and family. I hope you enjoy it too.
Review Summary: Appropriate Title
Date: 2008-11-11
Details: It felt like this book was written just for me. I am a newly licensed minister (22) and I have yet to take on a position that utilizes my strengths because I feel God telling me to wait. This book completely explains why this time in my life is necessary. Its encouraging but also cutting because it speaks of the immense importance of our hidden times. Every day is as important as the next even when no one is watching us closely.
This book is written beautifully and concisely. You'll find yourself gliding through the chapters, but its really good stuff. You don't hear this message every day in fact I've NEVER heard this message preached before. I rarely highlight books, but this one is covered in yellow.
This book should be way more popular than it is...kind of fitting since it is all about taking advantage of hiddenness.
FIVE STARS.

Review Summary: Anonymous Bible Study Review
Date: 2008-09-10
Details: We recently kicked off our Fall Bible study at church, using Alicia's series "Anonymous: Jesus' Hidden Years and Yours." Sixty women were left speechless, a feat by anyone's standards! Alicia can pack more depth and volume into one sentence then most of us can hope to write in three pages! The corresponding study guide adds tremendous depth and underscore to the teachings of "Anonymous", leading the reader into rich intimacy with God.
This teaching, via this book, has been one of the most transformational teachings I've ever received from Scripture. Alicia's capacity for pondering God and the sacred walk of a Christian therein, leaves me hungering to be a better mother, a better writer, a better human being, and most importantly, a better seeker of God.
