This book is for anyone who has been offered cheap, half-baked "solutions" to suffering clothed in the finest Christianese. Not only was Dr. Gorrell's book immensely encouraging to me as someone who is constantly trying to make sense of the suffering of others and my own suffering; my hope is that Dr. Gorrell's book will also challenge the American Church to adopt a posture of—in her own words—"withness" and "witness" in the face of life's inevitable struggles. I cannot recommend this theologically rich, practically insightful, and poignant memoir highly enough.
