One of the very first things I noticed when I started reading this book was how very much the author , Chris Nye, loves God. And yet, his isn't a message filled with kittens and rainbows. Chris is very honest when he says that at times it feels as if God is far from us. The times when He feels close fades, and we are left questioning if we really experienced them at all. We face trials and wonder where God is. During these experiences the author recommends that we keep praying. We should talk to God about how we feel, and remain obedient. And we should confess the things we have done that we shouldn't have. He also reminds us that we should fast, and he makes the suggestion that instead of jumping right into a three day fast, we try one that lasts from sun up to sundown.

The author gently leads the reader into some truths that may not be so popular. That God allows hardships to come our way. And he reminds us that the Bible tells us we should be grateful for the things that test our faith.

I enjoyed the personal stories and quotes that the author shared. I have many highlighted passages in my kindle and some that I have written down to review again and again. I highly recommend this book. I'm sure that anyone will enjoy how this author, gently, points toward truths--some difficult from the Bible.
