Angry With God

by Michele Novotni, Randy Petersen

Most people face anger, sadness, frustration, confusion, disappointment, fear, or depression at some point in their lives. We know that we need to get to the root of the problem in order to fix it. But what happens when we feel like God is the root of the problem? What do we do when we are angry with God? Psychologist Michele Novotni noticed that many of her clients who were working through their anger with people had a parallel need to work through their anger with God. Beneath the psychological issues, many people also silently struggle with their faith. Yet, many are afraid to give voice to this anger. They're told that "good" people, "people of faith," accept what happens without asking questions. Unvoiced thoughts are forced underground, leaving people feeling disconnected and angry with God, but unable to do much about it. Novotni and Petersen help readers break the silence. It's not easy making peace with a silent God who seems to have declared war on you. And this book won't try to talk readers out of their anger, but it will talk them through it, presenting them with an image of a compassionate God who continues to love them.

This book was very enlightening and had many ways to look at God's lessons in life in little ways you may have missed .many books referenced that I wanna read too that would like to read .I still need clarification. 😫 I lost a son at 16 and 23 in freak accidents suddenly 5 years apart.

I had an extra long shift at the library and pulled a random book off the shelf to read in my spare time, I ended up reading it all during the shift. This was a very helpful book for me, and I would recommend it to anyone who is just looking for some relief in a spiritual way.
