Read by the Author. Features exclusive audiobook-only bonus content you won’t want to miss! Known for giving language to what many women feel but struggle to name, Laura Wifler’s debut poetry collection is as riveting as it is relatable.

Written with her signature timbre of startling honesty and unfaltering hope, Laura offers listeners a new way to experience life in This Side of the Sky. Through poetry that is remarkably specific yet widely universal, she explores what it means to grow older in a fallen body, wrestles with complicated feelings around grief and suffering this side of Heaven, and reflects on the ache of living in a world that feels both heavy and holy.

In these poems and Scriptures, you will find:

• permission to be honest about the pain of life, without losing faith
• a tender awareness of God’s nearness, even when life feels chaotic
• encouragement, joy, and comfort in your pursuit of Christ, strengthening your faith even in trials
• a reminder that Heaven is real—and it holds hope for you today

A trusted and authentic voice for modern Christian women, Laura’s poems give language to the parts of us that know God is real but need reminders that He is still moving in our lives, even now. Her compassionate words are meant to be returned to again and again, on walks, in quiet moments, or in seasons when everyday life feels like too much. Like a hand gently beckoning, these poems invite us to notice the holy mystery woven through our ordinary days and trust that, even here on this side of the sky, we are held by a God who is both tender and present.
