Sitting Strong: Wrestling with the Ornery God

by Jeanie Miley

Sitting Wrestling with the Ornery God , by bestselling author Jeanie Miley, suggests that when life knocks the props out from under you, it is possible to gather up your agony and wrestle with it in the presence of the God who may feel strangely absent. This book is not about being strong. Rather, taking the struggles and triumphs of Job as its guide, this book is about that terrible time when all you can do is stumble onto the ash heap of suffering and simply sit.

[Arielle Rose · Rating 3 out of 5]

Three and a half stars? She had a lot of good things to say but expanded too much on so many points that the whole thing ended up being unnecessarily wordy. She also made too many points based off her own idea of the text, which didn't sit well with me. That said, her writing did give me a lot to think about, as well as new ways to look at going through extended periods of suffering.
