A Note from the Author
As a pastor, I see so much loss. It’s never easy, especially when it affects someone very close to you. And we do what most everyone does. We asked God, “Why? Why did you allow this to happen?”
This book is for those who are hurting. For those with doubts. For those afraid that their faith may be failing. For those whose world has grown dark. If life is closing in on you, if your faith feels stretched to the breaking point, then this book is for you.
As you read it, I hope you’ll have the courage to enter with me into some of the pain of this world. I hope you will understand why I wrote this with a more serious and reflective tone. I hope you will venture out to the edges with me and wrestle with some of the questions Christians are often afraid to ask. I hope you discover the depths and riches of God’s grace that only the valleys of life can reveal.
