My name is Christy Snow. I'm seventeen and I'm about to die. I'm buried in a coffin under tons of concrete. No one knows where I am. My heart sounds like a monster with clobber feet, running straight toward me. I'm lying on my back, soaked with sweat from the hair on my head to the soles of my feet. My hands and feet won't stop shaking.Some will say that I m not really here. Some will say I'm delusional. Some will say that I don t even exist. But who are they? I'm the one buried in a grave.

Every heart longs to be seen and understood. Yet most of our lives is unwitnessed. We spend our days working, driving, parenting. We sometimes spend whole seasons feeling unnoticed and unappreciated. So how do we find contentment when we feel so hidden? In Unseen, Sara Hagerty suggests that this is exactly what God intended. He is the only One who truly knows us. He is the only One who understands the value of the unseen in our lives. When this truth seeps into our souls, we realize that only when we hide ourselves in God can we give ourselves to others in true freedom—and know the joy of a deeper relationship with the God who sees us. Our culture applauds what we can produce, what we can show, what we can upload to social media. Only when we give all of ourselves to God—unedited, abandoned, apparently wasteful in its lack of productivity—can we live out who God created us to be. As Hagerty writes, “Maybe my seemingly unproductive, looking-up-at-Him life produces awe among the angels.” Through an eloquent exploration of both personal and biblical story, Hagerty calls us to offer every unseen minute of our lives to God. God is in the secret places of our lives that no one else witnesses. But we’ve not been relegated to these places. We’ve been invited. We may be “wasting” ourselves in a hidden corner today: The cubicle on the fourth floor. The hospital bedside of an elderly parent. The laundry room. But these are the places God uses to meet us with a radical love. These are the places that produce the kind of unhinged love in us that gives everything at His feet, whether or not anyone else ever proclaims our name, whether or not anyone else ever sees. God’s invitation is not just for a season or a day. It is the question of our lives: “When no one else applauds you, when it makes no sense, when you see no results—will you waste your love on Me?”

It’s been a difficult year for fifteen-year-old Colman. After a brutal car accident, each day is split between painful rehab and the nightmares that overwhelm him when he sleeps. All Colman wants is the quiet and freedom that come with the isolated campground he and his family return to each summer. Traveling alone with Maeve, his twelve-year-old Mensa-level sister, who may or may not be fighting terrorists online, they can’t wait to see their three best friends. There’s giant but painfully shy Dan, a Texas farm boy who relates better to animals than humans. Ira, an irrepressible deaf kid from Maine, who taught them all sign language and how to blow stuff up. Finally, there’s Lily, Native American, smart, tall, athletic and way more attractive then Colman can reasonably understand. Maybe this will be the summer that he does more than nervously grin around her? But all of that is put on hold when, for the second time that year, Colman’s life is changed in an instant. In the back bedroom of a small camper, something impossible is loudly snoring. Something so familiar, yet so different. And it needs their help. Without warning, Colman and his friends are thrust into a mystery that stretches back millennia. Finding themselves aggressively pursued through the backcountry by the wealthy, handsome and devious Dustin Avenger, a famous reality show adventurer who’s obsessed with killing the creature Colman and his friends must protect at all costs. But they are not alone. Colman and his friends will find help from a centuries-old Order sworn to protect the many legendary and mythical beings around the world that must remain hidden. With their enemies closing in and time running out, the kids know that they are all that stand between these ancient creatures and certain annihilation. Facing these nearly insurmountable odds, Colman must lead his friends to stand and fight.
