Publisher's summary

How can I approach God if I’m struggling to believe in His goodness?

So much of our belief can be formulaic. We often think that if we do A, B, and C, then God will do X, Y, and Z. We check things off the “Good Christian Checklist,” trusting we’ll be okay, and our trials will be minimal. But when our experiences inevitably deviate from that belief, our trust in God often crumbles. After a series of life-altering trials—including a devastating diagnosis—uncovering faith in the cracks of pain is something Kristen LaValley knows well.

In Even If He Doesn’t, Kristen will:

  • share her vulnerable and honest story
  • unpack the nuances of suffering and faith, holding space for the tension between the two
  • reveal how engaging the gentleness and grace of Christ in our suffering offers a surprising path to healing
  • remind us that when our belief is reduced to a formula, we rob ourselves of a faith that’s enriched by suffering, not crippled by it

Those in the midst of heartache will find strength and renewal as Kristen approaches the complexity of suffering with compassion, guiding us to endure while not forsaking the joy, hope, and peace of those marked by Jesus.

Absolutely fantastic!

I have listened to the book twice and am about to listen to it a third. Really makes you think about your relationship with God and how you view God. Even if you’re not going through something big, I think everyone should read this book! I have recommended it to everyone I know.

The read that I needed…

I am so blessed to have stumbled upon Kristen on IG. She has put words to the tension of my soul and shined light into some very dark places. I am so grateful she wrote this book & I know I will read it again & glean something new. Thank you for helping me know that God will always be glorified…even when I am cracked and broken. He is always good.

Relatability

The truths and accompanying story are so relatable. I appreciate how the story is pre told, then retold as the comforting truths surround it.

True comfort for the grieving believer

After a tough couple years, this book was just what I needed. I went into this book knowing Kristen’s story, but man, I learned so much to apply to my own life. I’m so glad this book exists.
