Even if he doesn't : what we believe about God when life doesn't make sense / Kristen LaValley.

Summary:

So much of our belief can be formulaic. We often think that if we do A, B, and C, then God will do X, Y, and Z. But when our experiences inevitably deviate from that belief, our trust in God often crumbles. After a series of life-altering trials--including a devastating diagnosis--Kristen LaValley knows what it's like to uncover faith inthe cracks of pain. In Even if he doesn't, Kristen unpacks the nuances of suffering and faith, holding space for the tension between the two and revealing how the gentleness and gace of Christ offer a surprising path to healing. Through her vulnerable and honest story, she reminds us that when our belief is reduced to a formula, we rob ourselves of a faith that is enriched by suffering, not crippled by it.Those in the midst of heartache will find strength and renewal as Kristen approaches the complexity of suffering with compassion, guiding us to endure while not forsaking the joy, hope, and peace of those marked by Jesus.
