How can I approach God if I'm struggling to believe in His goodness?So much of our belief can be formulaic. We often think that if we do A, B, and C, then God will do X, Y, and Z. We check things off the "Good Christian Checklist," trusting we'll be okay, and our trials will be minimal. But when our experiences inevitably deviate from that belief, our trust in God often crumbles. After a series of life-altering trials--including a devastating diagnosis--uncovering faith in the cracks of pain is something Kristen LaValley knows well.In Even If He Doesn't, Kristen will: share her vulnerable and honest storyunpack the nuances of suffering and faith, holding space for the tension between the tworeveal how engaging the gentleness and grace of Christ in our suffering offers a surprising path to healingremind us that when our belief is reduced to a formula, we rob ourselves of a faith that's enriched by suffering, not crippled by itThose in the midst of heartache will find strength and renewal as Kristen approaches the complexity of suffering with compassion, guiding us to endure while not forsaking the joy, hope, and peace of those marked by Jesus.

Social media has recently been overtaken by stories of government conspiracy, complicated webs of pedophilia and human trafficking, and secret groups of Satanists running the world. Overnight, stories that previously only existed in forums and anonymous blogs were now being shared by thousands of people, including those we know, love, and respect. More and more people are insisting that believers "wake up" to the evil around us, but is that what believers are called to? Should the focus of a believer be about obtaining more knowledge? How does the Gospel compel us to respond to evil? Are our only options to know more or to ignore it altogether? Or does Jesus move us in an entirely different direction? We have to reframe what we "know" around the bigger story: The Story of God and His People. And that story isn't just a story about good beating evil, it's a story of redemption and hope. If what you've been exposed to through friend or through social media, has made you fearful, panicked, and restless, this book will fill you with hope, expectation, and joy as you recenter your mind and your heart around the Gospel.
