Waiting for God Justice and Rush-Hour Traffic

Patience is an indispensable Christian virtue but is often neglected. Often it is thought to be passive inactivity but nothing could be farther from the truth. Christian patience is creatively active. It has been so in the church's mission in God's response to fallen humanity in the cross-shaped life of those who are waiting for justice and even in the believer's experience of God's silence. Okholm delves into these facets of patience illustrating them with the experiences of those who have practiced the creative activity of patience and concluding with strategies to cultivate the virtue in our lives.
