Why is God Ignoring Me?
by Gary R. Habermas
Book Description:
In times of trouble and suffering, we cry out to God . . . but sometimes it feels like he doesn’t hear. Has he abandoned us just when we need him most? In this new book, scholar, author, and apologist Gary Habermas walks us through what the Bible has to say about suffering and where we can find God in our own times of sorrow and disappointment, and he shares heartfelt personal insights from his own experiences. Why Is God Ignoring Me? gives us the freedom to ask our tough questions . . . And the wisdom to find the answers.

My Thoughts:
While there was some good information in this book, it was not a favorite read. I felt like the book hopped around too much and didn’t have a good flow. I did like the conclusions at the end of the chapters that wrapped things up succinctly. The book does contain discussion questions at the end for those who want to dig a little deeper into the reading and the information presented. Overall, the book had some good points, but it isn’t one that I would recommend for someone currently going through the grieving process as they may walk away with more questions than answers…
