Come Matter Here: Your Invitation to Be Here in a Getting There World by Hannah Brencher

4.0

Come Matter Here brings us an important message: Stay and matter where you are. Throughout the book we are inspired to stop running after the next big thing, to stop letting fear or pursuit of success in worldly terms run our lives. Instead, come, stay and plant your roots deep. Meaning and making a difference is right before us in the small and simple, not just in the next big happening.

Reading this book is akin to meeting a friend for coffee and sharing deep conversation about real life stuff. It is sharing both the good and the difficult things from every season of life, then sharing the wisdom we’ve gained with others and staying with them as they walk it out.

It’s about not waiting for the next best thing before you invest yourself, but investing yourself full throttle into those around you right now. The writings in this book will open your eyes to every need to open your heart and stop the running. It will provoke you to refuse the lies, set aside fear, and go deep with the community around you.

Hannah’s honest presentation of her struggles paints a vital backdrop for sharing real wisdom with the generations of today.

This book provoked me to go deeper with my own spiritual family and has grown my passion for seeing the Body of Christ get real with one another with honesty and authenticity. As a result, I experienced freedom from lies I believed that had affected me for most of my life. This is similar to what Hannah experienced as she refused to be fearful or to run, and planted herself in community with those around her.

Do not only read this book, let the experiences and wisdom within read you. Glean all the wisdom you can and set your heart to walk out living a deeper, authentic life with those around you.

Choose to go deep beyond surface living. Live and share in honesty—even at the risk of rejection—letting God love you through those around you. Trust God to protect your heart and come matter right where you are. A deeper, beautiful life is waiting!
