I recently received the insider’s scoop about Margaret’s new book. Here are somehighlights from the interview: 

Where did the inspiration for the Wonderstruck book and Bible study come from?
Have you ever had one of those seasons where everything goes wrong, and when you think itcan’t get worse, it somehow finds a way? Most people who have worked in ministry haveexperienced those seasons—some may be in one right now. My husband, Leif, and I had just gone through one of the roughest years of our lives. In theaftermath, as we processed the pain and loss, I had an unexplainable desire in my heart. I beganpraying for the wonder of God. In essence, I said, “God reveal yourself, your whole self to me. Iwant to know you as Wonderful. I want to know you as I’ve never known you before and seeyou in places I’ve never recognized you before.” God did not disappoint.

What do you mean by “the wonder of God”?
Sometimes talking or writing about wonder feels like tying kite strings to clouds. It’s ethereal,and you can never quite get a grip on it. But if you look in the dictionary, the two maindefinitions of wonder are: “being filled with admiration, amazement, or awe” and “to think orspeculate curiously.”
Those definitions come together beautifully in our relationship with God. That’s why I define thewonder of God as those moments of spiritual awakening that create a desire to know God more.

Why are you calling people to #LIVEWONDERSTRUCK?
In other words, the wonder of God isn’t about an emotional experience or having some cool
story to tell your friends, but the wonder of God makes us want more of God—to go deeper and
further than we’ve ever been before.
 If you look in the Gospels, what you’ll discover is that those who encountered Jesus wereconstantly left in wild amazement. They were awestruck by the teachings of Christ, the healingsof Christ, the mind-bending miracles of Christ. Within the Gospel of Luke we see words like“awe” and “wonder” and “marvel” at every turn. If this is the natural response to encounteringChrist, how much more should it be for you and I—who are invited to live in relationship withChrist as sons and daughters of our God Most High?
