這本書是我去年在英國買的，買下它是因為看到它的簡介而被吸引。
內容是講到人面對苦難，會不明白、埋怨神、自責、有苦澀、有怨恨。種種的表現其實都反映出我們內心的信仰，以及我們對神的態度。
看完了這本書後，我反省我跟神的關係，我心中的父神是如何的一位神呢？我對神的認識又有多少呢？是否全面呢？
書中有一些段落很值得我們細心思想，例如：
“If you knew I was good and that everything – the means, the ends, and all the processes of individual lives – is all covered by my goodness, then while you might not always understand what I am doing, you would trust me.” (這是神對主角說的一段話，p. 126)
很多時我們都不是活在當下，而是想將來，有時甚至會擔憂和恐懼，但神說：“The person who lives by their fears will not find freedom in my love. I am not talking about rational fears regarding legitimate dangers, but imagined fears, and especially the projection of those into the future. To the degree that those fears have a place in your life, you neither believe I am good nor know deep in your heart that I love you.” (p. 142)
“Just because I work incredible good out of unspeakable tragedies doesn’t mean I orchestrate the tragedies. Don’t ever assume that my using something means I caused it or that I need it to accomplish my purposes. That will only lead you to false notions about me. Grace doesn’t depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors.” (另一段神對主角說的話，p. 185)
這是一本很好的書，很值得看的書，讓你對信仰有重新反省的一本書。
