Angry with God: An Honest Journey through Suffering and Betrayal

No one gets mad at God for something small. When we’re angry with God, it is because we’ve faced something immensely hard. Anger is an often-overlooked part of grieving, and as such, is an appropriate response to profoundly painful events. While we are often prone to interpret our anger about intense suffering as being at God, this book is an invitation to process these intense emotions with God as a source of comfort, who is sturdy enough to support these turbulent emotions. Angry with God patiently walks you through the process of being honest with God (and others) about your pain. You will learn how to articulate your pain, alleviate the effects of this pain, contextualize your experience in light of the gospel, and begin to hope again.
• Practical, accessible, and concise guidance for your struggle with deep grief that is accompanied with anger and confusion.
• Part of the Ask the Christian Counselor series, walking readers through their deepest and most profound questions.
• Gives readers the tools to understand their struggle with anger and grief and how the gospel brings hope and healing.
