Mad About God: No Silver Livings, No Christian Clichés, No

Mad About God: No Silver Livings, No Christian Clichés, No Easy Answers for Pain & Suffering

When life hurts, we're tempted to spiritualize our pain and to find a lesson in the suffering.
We've heard, "Everything happens for a reason and God has an amazing plan for your life."

But sometimes, you just want to be angry with Him. You want to shake a fist and shout against the dark.
You don't want to rush past your healing with Christianese clichÃ©s and pat answers.
Another irreversible tragedy has left you doubting Him, wondering if He's really good and truly in control.

Maybe no one has taught us how to be mad about God.
Maybe the secret rage at our pain means we're closer to God than we think.

In this journey through our trials and suffering, we'll discover a safe place to vent, to be angry, and to grieve without formulas. We'll talk about True Detective, Louis C.K., the Serial Podcast, and The Shawshank Redemption. We'll also talk about depression, sexy cancer, second world problems, the pressure to do "great things," small town gossip, and misquoting Jeremiah 29:11. There's no silver bullet or magical formula in these pages, but perhaps we'll find a Faith that works in the face of death, and a Truth could carry us through to the end.
