world. How is God going to make it all right? How is he going to redeem all of the suffering and loss of this world . . . and in your own life? Escapism isn’t going to do it, no matter what religious version you choose. What about all your hopes and dreams? What about all your special places and memories, the things most dear to your heart? Is there no hope for any of that? What we ache for is redemption; what our heart cries out for is restoration.
