Publisher Description
No one gets mad at God for something small. When we're angry with God, it is because we've faced something immensely hard. Anger is an often-overlooked part of grieving, and as such, is an appropriate response to profoundly painful events. Counselor Brad Hambrick provides a guided process to being honest with God about your pain to restore and deepen your relationship with him. While we are often prone to interpret our anger about intense suffering as being at God, this book is an invitation to process these intense emotions with God as a source of comfort who is sturdy enough to support these turbulent emotions.
If you are struggling with deep grief that is accompanied with anger and confusion, Angry with God will be profoundly helpful in your journey. Hambrick will patiently walk you through the process of being honest with God (and others) about your pain. You will learn how to articulate your pain, alleviate the effects of this pain, contextualize your experience in light of the gospel, and begin to hope again. God is a good shepherd who is patient and willing to move at the pace of his sheep. God can be trusted in places that merit the name "the valley of the shadow of death."
Angry with God is part of the Ask the Christian Counselor series. This series walks readers through their deepest and most profound questions. Each question is unpacked by an experienced counselor that gives readers the tools to understand their struggle and how the gospel brings hope and healing to the problem they are facing.

A must read for grief
I lost my granddaughter, mother-in-law, and a very good friend in a very short period of time, each battled and lost different health problems. In my pain, I questioned everything I knew about healing, I questioned God, and I felt I had lost what I thought was a firm grip on my faith. This book helped me process the emotions and doubts I was having and helped me realize I had not lost my faith, but was just in a fog of pain and stuck in grief. Brad Hambrick writes in loving tones, conveying what I feel God wants us to know and understand, that He loves us through the pain, walks with us every step of the way. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has experienced loss and pain and are struggling to reconcile that with your faith walk.
