This book would be greatly comforting for those who feel they have walked away from their faith in God. Who doubt their faith or their place within the church. Who maybe have had a difficult time with religion and don't know what they believe anymore.
I was drawn to this book because of the title. Because I've had that difficulty within a church setting after my divorce. The fallout was the church my ex-huband and I attended no longer accepting me as I was the "responsible" party, It didn't help that he lied to everyone to make himself look better and that no one even asked me my point of view. I was seen as responsible. Done and dusted.
It took me years to come to the same conclusion Jonathan points us to in this book. No matter the road we take, God is always with us. His comment that "sometimes we have to leave the house of God in order to encounter God in the wild" made my cry. Even though that wilderness experience was a while ago for me.
There was much else that made me cry. And nod my head. And cry some more.
If you are in a difficult situation. Don't know how your faith will survive, don't know how you will survive, read this book. It might just help you encounter God once again.
