Even If

Trusting God When Life Disappoints, Overwhelms, or Just Doesn't Make Sense

De: Mitchel Lee

Narrado por: Mitchel Lee

How do you worship God even if life isn’t going the way you had hoped?

“Even If is not some bumper sticker to display, but a daring commitment to live.” (Kyle Idleman, senior pastor of Southeast Christian Church)

“I believe we will see more resilient people in the face of suffering because of this great book.” (Bryan Loritts, teaching pastor at The Summit Church)

What happens when the test comes back positive? The relationship ends? The dream goes unfulfilled? The plans don’t move forward? Amid confusion, hurt, and anger, we wonder where we went wrong. What is God doing?

In Even If, Mitchel Lee reminds us that while God does not promise a pain-free life, he offers something better: his presence in the pain. No matter our circumstances, God is worthy of our worship, and he can meet us even in our greatest difficulties.

Drawing on his own journey, Mitchel explores the compelling story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3. These three men chose to worship God even if God didn’t rescue them from the fire. From their example and countless others, we can do the same.

Maybe you are stuck in regret, grieving a loss, or unsure of how to take your next step because there is no promise of success. Even If offers the courage you need to move forward, declaring devotion - not in spite of life’s fires but because of them - to a God whose goodness never changes.

Includes a downloadable PDF of prayers by the author

Reseñas de la Crítica

"In the whirlwind of everyday life, where setbacks, unforeseen changes, and even heart-stricken grief are encountered often unexpectedly, we can easily be thrown off in our understanding of who God is and who we are. This book reminds us that the constancy of God’s love for us and his strength are worthy anchors through the chaos.” (Jenny Yang, vice president for advocacy and policy at World Relief)

“Prophetic, pastoral, and personal in nature, Even If is a word for anyone in the valley, fire, or desert of spiritual life. Lee uniquely invites the reader to look for God in difficulty and, perhaps more importantly, determine to worship God, even when we can’t find him. Ultimately, this is a book about real faith, deep faith, and anchored faith - a faith beyond private devotion and personal experience, inherited from ancient followers of God, ancient sufferers throughout Scripture, and those mighty saints who have gone before us.” (Aubrey Sampson, church planter and author of The Louder Song and Known)

“Even If combines the insights of a seasoned biblical scholar with the empathy and honesty of a loving pastor. It’s refreshingly honest, unexpectedly humorous, and enormously helpful. I have no doubt that it will help thousands of people navigate the pain and disappointment of life.” (Pete Greig, founder of 24-7 Prayer International and author of God on Mute)
