Coming this fall, “Storms and Deserts” is the newest book by Elizabeth Talbot. It revisits biblical stories of actual fierce tempests and scorching wildernesses that developed into stories of emotional and spiritual turmoil for those who went through them. And yet in the midst of those crises, God revealed Himself to His children in unprecedented ways. We all struggle with major questions and pain. This is why our souls yearn for a better world without suffering, promised for those who accept Jesus as their Savior (see Revelation 21:4). But until then, while we still face the storms and conflicts of life here and now, God comes to us with compassion and grace. He reveals Himself to us in true and real ways, ministering to our souls and healing our wounds with a love and care that surpass our understanding, little by little changing our image of who He is.
Available for pre-order. Books will be mailed as soon as they become available.

LOMA LINDA, CA – The Association of Adventist Women has named Elizabeth Talbot, Ph.D. as the 2024 Woman of the Year for Spiritual Leadership and Media Ministry. Talbot was presented this honorary award at the Association of Adventist Women Banquet on October 12, 2024. Talbot was recognized for her commitment to sharing Jesus through her preaching, writing, and visual ministry.
“I am grateful to the Association of Adventist Women for this award. First of all, I thank Jesus for achieving our salvation, and for choosing women as the first witnesses of His resurrection. I also thank the North American Division for their commitment to encourage women in leadership.
