When God Lets You Down: Trusting Again After Pain and Loss

"Emergency operator. May I help you?""Yes, my name is Alex Gee, my wife is nineteen weeks pregnant and I think her water just broke! This is her second pregnancy, and . . . we lost our first baby just like this . . .""Sir? Hello? Sir? Try to stay calm. Who is your wife's OB/GYN?""It's Dr. Koller! Uh . . . My wife is losing more fluid . . . Hurry!"Oh God, this isn't happening again. I can't handle another loss like this. Let this be a dream! Please let this be a dream!Have you ever felt like God has let you down just when you needed him most? For Alex Gee it was the loss of his second child at birth. For others it is death, divorce, financial ruin, physical disability or a host of other trials we face in the world. In these moments of crisis our view of God is challenged and our faith is shaken. With refreshing candor in this book Alex Gee offers true companionship--though not easy answers--as you search for the way to hope.

Alex Gee is pastor of Fountain of Life Family Worship Center and president of the Nehemiah Community Development Corporation, both in Madison, Wisconsin.
