About this listen

A friend’s child dies; a parent gets a cancer diagnosis; your spouse loses their job. Sometimes life and God’s plan don’t make sense and we end up feeling hurt and angry.

In Seriously, God?, Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran explore the denial, doubt, and betrayal we experience when we face hardship, pain, and grief, and they encourage us to lean into our feelings and to take each circumstance as a chance to learn more about God.

Drawing on personal anecdotes and stories from their parish, White and Corcoran - authors of the best-selling and award-winning book Rebuilt - share important lessons, including:

  • Even the heroes of the Bible - such as Abraham, Moses, David, and the apostles - experienced situations that caused them to misunderstand God
  • There is joy in knowing we will forever be getting to know God
  • Even though life often doesn’t make sense, we shouldn’t assume God doesn’t make sense

For anyone who has battled suffering, walked away from faith under the pressure of crushing doubt, never felt safe giving faith a chance, or cared about someone who struggles with these realities, this audiobook treats the problems of suffering and evil not as an argument to be overcome but as an invitation to a deeper faith.

Each section relies on biblical stories that provide a wonderful introduction to scripture to those who are not familiar with the Bible and a fresh perspective to those who are. Each section also includes questions for self-reflection and discussion. A free parish small-group guide and videos from the authors are available online.

This is a perfect audiobook to give as a gift to friends or family members who are grieving, those struggling with doubts about their faith, or those who are new to faith.

Practical address of the problem of evil

Death and Suffering are often topics that are either avoided or treated in an unempathetic systematic approach. Michael and Tom have written a powerful book that tackles these difficult topics directly but not in a cold or offensive matter. By retelling real suffering they have either witnessed or experience as well as relating biblical events the audience can find practical hope in the pain that is unavoidable in this life. This is a fantastic book and heavily recommended to those who may be hurting, or know some one who is hurting. It is a book that will help you make sense when life doesn't make sense.
