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!

The initial premise is good but the book quickly becomes repetitive and there are several inaccuracies that I found distracting. For example, at one point, the author asserts that there was a point in Christ???s life when He ???realized and accepted that He was the Son of God,??? which has no scriptural basis and with which I take issue. She also seems to forget that Jesus is God in some of her suppositions in an apparent effort to make His ???hidden years??? more relatable.
The prologue and chapter 1 are the best parts of this book and the inspirational ideas and analogies presented therein (icebergs and winter-bare trees that reveal infrastructure) are not original to the author. I???d say skip this one or read it with your discernment hat on and be ready to fact-check a few things with your Bible, lexicon, and perhaps Blue Letter Bible on hand.
