Reviews

Our home. First of all I cannot warm up to the author who despite his social media presence does not engage with the reader but this does not affect the score I have given here. [Spoiler alert. doing something great for us ?

We can always speculate on what God is saying to us - perhaps " you do not get what you want because you deserve better" and when God is silent He usually is busy. ) Let him to take over our life and pray for God's will, always. Get highlighters or a pencil to mark them all for future reference. .

After all He has got that advantage of seeing the final result, what's best for us to get us there. Overall it is a needed book with some beautiful quotes which are very moving and thought provoking. The best advice given here is to trust in Him and his Will ( what is the other best option here ?

Wrestling with God like Jacob did ? The author goes through several examples from his own or other people's lives and different speculations , possibilities, hypotheses attempting to answer why God is silent especially in our suffering, when we need him most.

-------------------For Catholic readers , the book does not have the " imprimatur" though saying this it is inclusive, respectfully written and can be a very important , faith enriching source of inspiration & wisdom with some important bullet points to come back to while rereading it. While we can only barely see our past and what's today. Answered without black and white answers many dilemmas surrounding the issues of suffering, "unanswered" prayers, etc etc.
