Why would we need faith if we never felt the urge to question it? In this uplifting masterpiece, Connie Hagen addresses the probing, faith-testing questions we tend to ask ourselves through life’s difficult transitions. She clarifies for us, once and for all, how we should think of God in relation to our circumstances. As an integrative cancer physician with over thirty years of experience, I have been a personal witness to the journey of thousands of late-stage cancer patients. Common to most of them has been the question, “Why?” To help our patients find their answers, we have brought our ministry to them, helping them find hope as they seek faith in the darkest of times. I can assure you, from here forth, I will recommend this book to every one of them who asks me their unanswerable question. And in moments when I feel my own faith challenged, I will be sure to pick it up and read it for myself once again.
This book is smartly written, scripturally sound, and quite frankly… captivating. Connie tackles deep theological issues with ease and insight. Coping with pain and suffering, while embracing an all-loving and allpowerful God has been with Christianity from the beginning, but she shows an ability to make deep spiritual truths much less difficult to grasp. There is freedom in her words that echo with the Word of God. I could not recommend this book more.
