"This is a book I'll be recommending for years to come." -- Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times bestselling author

Do you believe God is just not fair?

If you're like Jennifer Rothschild, you wrestle with questions when you experience painful circumstances.

Does God care? Does he hear my prayers? Is he even there?

Blinded as a teenager, Jennifer overcame daunting obstacles, found strength in God, and launched a successful speaking and writing ministry. Then in her 40s, everything changed.

Jennifer hit a wall of depression and discontent that shook her to her core, undermining many of her past assumptions about her faith. She wondered who God was and why he continued to allow her to struggle and doubt. Where, she pleaded, is his hand of healing and hope in my life now?

This is a book about finding more than just answers. It's for anyone who needs hope when life doesn't make sense--for all who reach for a God who feels distant. As Jennifer tackles the six big questions of faith, she will help you:

• Trust God more than your feelings.
• Strengthen your faith when you feel beat up by life.
• Embrace your obstacles and start experiencing their purpose.
• Face your disappointment and grow stronger from your loss.

Like David, Job, Jeremiah, and other saints of Old, Jennifer Rothschild asks the hard questions of God with startling honesty and refreshing transparency. And, akin to Jacob, Jennifer wrestles mightiliy with God through the dark night of her soul--that readers might experience thee relief of His light and the certain assurance of His blessings. -- Ann Voskamp, Author of the New York Times bestseller One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are What Jennifer teaches us is rooted and grounded in truth. What is truth? It's God's Word which sets us apart and enables us to live in the courage of faith. How this is exemplified in my precious friend's life! I am so proud of you, Jennifer, for taking us to the bread of life and nourishing our shouls. -- Kay Arthur, Cofounder of Precept Ministries International, focused on establishing people in God's word "God, is this fair?" My wife and I asked this question after the passing of our precious daughter. The fact is, everything in life doesn't turn out the way we expect---just ask Jennifer Rothschild, one of our favorite "LIFE Today" guests who became blind as a 15-year-old. With candor, Jennifer deals head-on with deep, probing questions many of us have asked. For those who wonder if God hears their prayers...cares...or even if God is good, this book will point you to Hope. Ultimately, "what matters most is not the questions," Jennifer writes, "but the heart of the questioner.' -- James Robison, Founder, LIFE Outreach International, cohost, 'LIFE Today' Television, Fort Worth, Texas After many years of great friendship and Bible study with Jennifer Rothschild, I have witnessed her immense passion for Christ's ability to heal and inspire others. In God is Just Not Fair, she asks the hardest, timeless questions of faith while bringing hope to others who, like Jennifer, have gone through the testing challenges of life. -- Mark Richt, Head football coach, University of Georgia In this tender book full of compassion, Jennifer wrestles through the questions that can rise to the surface during painful circumstances. 'Why is this happening?' 'Is God there and does He care?' Unlike other resources that wrestle with these deep issues from the head, Jennifer does so from the heart. She will show you how to have unrelenting courage to plead for God's power and, at the same time, for remarkable strength to trust God's plan. This is a book I'll be recommending for years to come. -- Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries At some point in our lives, I am betting that every one of us has cried out, "Why, God?" My friend Jennifer understands that heart cry at the deepest level - and has a lifetime of wisdom to share with us. "God is Just Not Fair" is a wonderful, wonderful book. Jennifer does not settle for pat, easy answers but encourages us to ask the hard questions and then hold tight to the eternal perspective that is the only way the answers will truly be found. -- Shaunti Feldhahn, Social researcher and bestselling author of For Women Only Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?

Jennifer Rothschild speaks to this issue like few others--offering real answers with refreshing personal insights, solid biblical truth, and genuine heartfelt compassion. She can speak to you because she's been there and she cares. If your life isn't making sense, read God Is Just Not Fair, and discover how God is using your trials to lead you to hope, healing, and joy. -- Kirk Cameron, Television and film actor
