When life throws us its worst, what we believe about God comes to the forefront. But what happens when the person we prayed for dies? The miracle doesn't come? The breakthrough arrives too late?
When Jessica's son was diagnosed with leukemia, her faith didn't waver. In her mind, death was not an option.
When the unthinkable happened, Jessica faced a new challenge: how to make sense of the grief when it seemed like God hadn't kept His end of the bargain.
In this honest and gutsy book, Jessica Long wrestles with the issues of pain, suffering and disappointment, bringing a fresh biblical lens to some of life's most difficult questions:
-If God is all-powerful, why doesn't He fix the world?
-What difference does prayer really make?
-How do we keep going when fear has taken hold?
-Can our faith ultimately fail?
With grace and honesty, Jessica invites us to rethink how we see God when life doesn't turn out as we hoped, and to discover a way of believing that allows us to get back up and run again.
