Good God, Lousy World, and Me: The Improbable Journey of a Human Rights Activist from Unbelief to Faith

Â â€œIn this extraordinary memoir, one of the foremost human rights advocates of the last half century shares her brutally and hilariously honest story of finding God.â€Â â€”Gary A. Haugen, president and CEO, International Justice Mission
Â
Â
For years, Holly Burkhalter was a heartbroken idealist working on the front lines of change around the worldâ€”a witness to the brutalities of genocide, sex trafficking, rape, slavery, greed and injustice. Throughout her career she found herself angrily, sometimes hilariously at odds with a God who seemed distant at best and tyrannical at worst.
Â
Until the day she found herself drawn into a community of fellow activists who loved, worshiped, and served another God altogetherâ€”a God who hated injustice, too. And who had a plan for combating it. Us.
Â
It was the greatest, most radiant surprise of her life.
Â
Today Holly engages deeply with the questions that kept her from faith for most of her adult life: How could a good God allow brutality, mental illness, and AIDS? Why does God seem indifferent when we are in great need? What is our part in pushing back the darkness?
Â
Through riveting stories from her life, she wrestles these questions to the ground. Sometimes she wins. Sometimes the questions do. Either way, Good God, Lousy World & Me will transform your understanding of Godâ€™s presence and purposeâ€”and oursâ€”in a broken world.

Now includes a small group discussion guide.
