The book tells the story of early tragedies in the author's life, including his parents' divorce and his teenage sister's death. It discloses his questions to and anger toward God. And it reveals the emotional and spiritual ''change points'' in his life that are intended to help readers understand the issues of sovereignty and pain, life and death, how God guides, freedom of choice and gratitude.
I've tried reading a few Christian books on human suffering and God's sovereignty and quite frankly they all stunk. This is the first that is very well balanced and offers wisdom and encouragement. I can't recommend this enough!
Knute Larson writes like he speaks. Always about the Good News through faith in Jesus, never about himself. He uses stories from his life to illustrate that the good news applies to our deepest and most pressing questions.
