Description
With or Without Me is a book for everyone – believer or unbeliever, Christian or atheist– who refuses to surrender to the idea that there are easy answers to the big questions in life.
Doubt about God’s goodness in the face of grief is natural. With or Without Me is one woman’s unsparing and eloquent memoir about the inadequacy of religion and philosophy to answer her emotional pain. Yet Esther Maria Magnis’s rejection of God is merely the beginning of a tortuous journey back to faith – one punctuated by personal losses retold with bluntness and immediacy.
Magnis knows believing in God is anything but easy. Because he allows people to suffer. Because he’s invisible. And silent.
“A must read for anyone who has ever pondered the meaning of life” – Lydia S. Dugdale, Author of The Lost Art of Dying

"With or Without Me is quite extraordinary. It’s poetic, written in such a way that it really draws you in, into your experiences and your inner life. It took me back to being a child and an adolescent and made me feel the way it felt then." —Justin Brierley, Re-Enchanting podcast
