My latest review is of the book by Jennifer Rothschild, God is Just Not Fair. The title in and of itself makes a bold statement and I think most people would want to read the book to see what Jennifer means about God not being fair. I have seen Jennifer Rothschild in person at a women's conference and have done a couple of her bible studies, so I definitely wanted to read this book.
For those of you that do not know Jennifer Rothschild, she has written nine books and several Bible studies. She has spoken at women's conferences (IE: Women of Faith) and is the founder of her own event, Fresh Grounded Faith. As part of her personal testimony, Jennifer often speaks and shares of her experience with going blind at the age of fifteen. Her blindness doesn't define who she is, but Jennifer has shared her journey with blindness to help others find hope in Jesus.
In this book, Jennifer tackles six big questions of faith that will encourage readers to trust God even in life's most difficult circumstances. Questions such as; God are you fair?, God, do you care?, and God. do you hear prayer?. Jennifer shares very candidly with her readers about her battle with depression and the roller coaster of emotions she has had with her blindness and prayers for healing. She lets readers into her journey as she questioned her faith and wrestled through some very tough questions with God.
Although, I believe this book is a great read for anyone to read, I especially would recommend this book to someone who is experiencing a very low point or difficult circumstance in his/her life.
I love that Jennifer asks the hard questions, and doesn't leave the readers with "pat" answers or a bunch of cliches. Jennifer goes directly to God's Word to find the answers. The answers are not always easy ones, but they are truthful ones. Jennifer exalts who God is and who we are and that makes this book one I would recommend to anyone.
