Throughout her career she found herself angrily, sometimes hilariously at odds with a God who seemed distant at best and tyrannical at worst. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Until the day she found herself drawn into a community of fellow activists who loved, worshiped, and served another God altogether--a God who hated injustice, too. And who had a plan for combating it. Us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It was the greatest, most radiant surprise of her life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Today Holly engages deeply with the questions that kept her from faith for most of her adult life: How could a good God allow brutality, mental illness, and AIDS? Why does God seem indifferent when we are in great need? What is our part in pushing back the darkness? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through riveting stories from her life, she wrestles these questions to the ground. Sometimes she wins. Sometimes the questions do. Either way, Good God, Lousy World \u0026amp; Me will transform your understanding of God's presence and purpose--and ours--in a broken world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNow includes a small group discussion guide.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eHolly Burkhalter\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis a leading international human rights advocate with a thirty-year career in Wash­ington, DC.
