Synopses & Reviews
The good news about being at our wits' end is that God meets us there.
To be human is to spend some time at our wits' end in confusion, desperation, pain, and fear. In that difficult place, we long for a tangible, visible sign that God hears our cries and is actively working for good in our lives. But all too often, faulty thinking erodes our faith and alters our beliefs, causing us to ask;
- If He loves me so much, why do I hurt so much?
- Am I being punished? I thought I was forgiven.
- Why is faith so hard? What if I don't have enough?
- Why does God allow suffering?
In God at Your Wits' End, Marilyn Meberg helps us cut through the mental clutter and confusion that lead to faulty thinking and shaky faith. She tenderly acknowledges our trials by revealing her own wits'-end experiences; then she points the way to rescue and respite by sharing the scriptural truths of God's enduring love and sovereign power.
