Prone to Wander
Grace for the Lukewarm and Apathetic
Natalie Brand
Gospel Comfort and Practical Counsel
Help for Spiritual Apathy
Encouragement for the Weak in Faith
As Christians, many of us experience times when we struggle in our faith. Times when we get distracted, like dumb sheep, and stray away from the safety of the fold and our faithful Shepherd. Some of us wander for months or even years, backsliding into unbelief and serious sin. Others of us fall into spiritual apathy where our passion for Christ cools and we can’t pray or pick up our Bibles. But the same grace of the Lord Jesus Christ that saved us can carry us through the Christian life. This book has been written to give you gospel comfort and practical counsel to help you move Godward.

Natalie’s gospel–filled warnings mix clarity with compassion. I hope many will be kept from shipwreck by the earthy wisdom of this book.

Our sinful hearts incline us to turn away from the Lord, and we find ourselves spiritually in the wastelands. This little book is a winsome word to believers who struggle or stray, to return to Christ the friend of sinners. Help is given in diagnosing our spiritual need, pointing us to Christ, and taking practical steps for a more constant walk with the Lord. Warmly commended!

One of the most perceptive and influential books I have ever read, Prone to Wander touches on the innermost conflicts of the Christian life. But Natalie Brand does more. She comes along side us, pointing out that we are not alone in the battle and that there is a ‘way of escape’ giving us hope and renewed confidence in the power of the cross.

The good news of the gospel is that the God and Father of our Lord Jesus is prone to restore his prone to wander sons and daughters. If you’re prone to wander (and who isn’t) or know someone who is (and who doesn’t) read and share this book.
