Relentless

Where is God when life is filled with so much suffering? How can I be sure of God''s presence and affection, even in my pain? Can you believe in God and still wrestle with questions and doubt? These are the questions honestly explored in Relentless.

Whether in struggle, illness, death, or failure, the presence of pain causes us to question the presence of God. We pray and watch the sky, crossing our spiritual fingers for hardcore proof of God''s nearness. And in the silence, we sense something more sinister: perceived abandonment.

But what if we could collect evidence that God hasn''t left us? What if we could be absolutely certain of God''s presence and affection, strengthening our faith against any assault?

Woven throughout Scripture sits a single, extraordinary theme: God is with us. Ours is a God who speaks through burning bushes and leads through pillars of fire, who responds to a broken world by giving himself.

Like the Old Testament story of Joshua''s altar of twelve stones, Relentless delivers twelve key biblical stories that demonstrate God''s unfailing presence. Each chapter offers an invitation to identify a "stone" in your own life as tangible evidence of God''s nearness. With the turn of the last page, you will have discovered twelve markers of your own, an altar of memory to carry you through questions and losses, even ones yet to come.

For the truth-seekers, those drowning in impossible questions, and those who find themselves swallowed up by the dark, Relentless is an invitation to search for divine presence in our everyday stories. With Michele Cushatt''s engaging narrative style, this transformational journey reassures us that God, indeed, is with us.
