When Life and Beliefs Collide: How Knowing God Makes a Difference

"Why does God let me go through such painful circumstance?"  "Why does He seem indifferent to my prayers?"  We're tired of spiritual pie in the sky.  We want authentic, God-as-He-really-is-faith- the kind that holds us together when our world is falling apart and equips us to offer strength and hope to others.

When Life and Beliefs Collide raises a long-overdue call for us to think seriously about what we believe about God.  With passions, brilliance, and eloquence, Carolyn Custis James weaves stories of contemporary women with episodes from the life of Mary of Bethany to illustrated the practical benefits of knowing God deeply.  Examining the misperceptions and abuses that discourage women from pursuing a deeper understanding of God, this insightful book demonstrates how practical and down to earth knowing God can be.
