When Faith Disappoints-The Hap Between What We Believe and What We Experience

FINDING HOPE WHEN WE CAN'T MAKE SENSE OF THE PAIN

Lisa Victoria Fields understands the tension of relying on God in a broken world. In conversations with Christians and skeptics alike, she hears the questions of our hearts: Why doesn't God protect me from suffering and injustice? Others don't seem to think I have value—does God?

In When Faith Disappoints, Fields shows us how emotional pain—often more than theological concerns—is at the root of our doubt. She invites us to bring our deepest soul questions to this journey as she explores:

• seven pain points that might be keeping us from faith—
  a lack of personhood, peace, provision, pleasure, purpose, protection, and power
• honest talk about why Christianity doesn't seem to meet our very valid needs
• why wrestling with God doesn't negate our faith but instead deepens it
• what it looks like to allow God to bring healing to our pain so we can see Him and others more clearly

Through vulnerable storytelling and thoughtful use of Scripture, Fields tends to our hurting hearts and offers hope that brings us back to the truth of Christianity—not despite the pain of this world but in light of it.
