Little is more complex in the life of someone who believes in a God who can do what we ask, than when he chooses not to. Suffering, pain, and trauma can often unravel our faith and the Christian response is often to double down and recite spiritual simplicities that bypass our human responses to painful things. Even if He Doesn’t is the book that bears witness to your pain without offering answers. In it, you’ll find a path for your faith to be strengthened by your suffering, not crippled by it. If you know heartache or loves someone who does, you will find strength and renewal as Kristen approaches the complexity of suffering with compassion, guiding us to endure while not forsaking the joy, hope, and peace of those marked by Jesus.
