    Jennifer Rothschild has done it again! She writes a book that is open, honest, vulnerable.

    We hear of her struggles of faith, questioning God and coming to understanding-questions that most likely we've all asked before.

     Her writing is scripture based and accessible. I highly recommend reading God is Just Not Fair. 

    At the end of each section she provides us with "Threads of Truth for Your Blanket of Faith."

    I hope you'll find these as helpful as I do! If you are questioning, searching or just plain-old tired, pick up a copy of this book and dive in.

    We all have them at one time or another. Whether they come, as unwelcome visitors, when trials or tragedy occur or as a result of watching someone else suffer---the are as common as "a cold."

    Questions arise like:

    God are You fair?

    God do You err?

    God, do You hear prayer?

    God, do You care?

    God, are You aware?

    God, are You there?

    I've asked them from time to time. Chances are you have, too.

    In her latest book "God Is Just Not Fair" Jennifer Rothschild takes each of these questions apart and examines then in light of Scripture. And who better to do so then someone who has asked them all herself.

    Having lost her sight as a teenager, Jennifer has navigated life blind for her entire adult life. And she does it with grace and dignity, I might add, not to mention also maintaining a sense of humor. I've read all of her books because there is much to be gleaned from this woman's life.

    This book is by far the author's most candid work. It may very well be my favorite. I found myself laughing, crying, and even praying as I read.

    Jennifer provides such incredible insight for those in the thralls of hardship. And, as someone who deals with chronic health issues, it brings bountiful comfort and hope. And who doesn't need hope? There is not a person alive who in some way won't find themselves within it's pages.

    It is not wrong to ask questions. In fact, it is right. How we process them and where we turn to for answers is what makes all of the difference.

    There is only two potentials when dealing with hardship: we get bitter, or we get better. Much of that depends upon the lens through which we choose to view life.

    I'm so grateful that Jennifer Rothschild has chosen to view her hardship through the lens of faith.

    Even in the darkest moments while suffering deep depression, due to chronic exhaustion and other physical changes, she continued to look to the right source for her answers. With more holes in her "blanket of faith" then she could possibly patch she allowed God to fill the missing pieces.

    There is so much to be learned from her experiences as well as her teaching. God is just not fair. Sometimes that can be a very hard pill to swallow. And that is why you need to read this book.

    It is medicine for the soul...a real heart cure!

    Honest. Vulnerable. Hope-filled.

    These are the words springing to mind as I read Jennifer Rothschild's newest book, God Is Just Not Fair. Other words which have been teasing my thoughts because of this hard to put down book include:

    Challenging. Revealing. Cleansing.

    God Is Just Not Fair has been a (surprisingly) personal experience for me. Something which I did not expect. In this book, Jennifer offers reflections and heartfelt confessions of what it means to live with her blindness and the questions with which she has grappled over the years.

    I'll be honest. Reading this book has brought fears to my awareness I had yet to realize were hiding in my heart. Uncovering questions which have been formed over the past five months as I have experienced the painful and debilitating symptoms, discouragement, and finally treatement for a cornea disease while writing my second book. Questions such as:

    "Am I going to have to live with this pain and blindness for the rest of my life?"

    "Can I trust God with my recovery?"

    "Will I be able to handle it if He allows the disease to return?"

    All of these previously unacknowledged fears needed to be wrestled with and given to God. Thankfully, through God Is Just Not Fair, Jennifer Rothschild has offered me a sisterly push into doing just that. And she can do provide the same for you if circumstances in your past or present have left you struggling to understand how God could allow it or where He has been through it all.

    God Is Just Not Fair is a book which every reader can relate to on some level. We have all experienced disappointment. We have all had questions of whether God is truly there or even bothering to listen. In this book, Jennifer Rothschild offers hope and advice which rise above mere platitudes. Rather, she has plumbed the well of her deeper experience, faith, and biblical wisdom. This is a book you simply must read.

    Though Jennifer and I attend the same church, we are but acquaintances. I have watched her from afar thinking she has such a blessed life. She gets it, she never doubts God's path for her life. Though this book I find out she gets lost in life too. She has the same plaguing questions of God that I have. Questions such as, God, do you hear me? God, please change this. God, do you care? This book reminds me that God has the big picture; I have only the 5x7. It reminds me to commit myself into HIS hands, HE has my path. I love that Jennifer says "our feelings are real, but they don't always reflect absolute reality." Trust God more than you trust your feelings.

    If you are wrestling with the hard questions of God's love for you Jennifer's book, GOD is just NOT Fair will help to calm the emotions and shed light on your doubt. This book is an enlightening and beautiful read.

    "God Is Just Not Fair" is insightful and thought provoking. I was drawn into the narrative of the book by the personal stories that show raw emotion. I felt as if the curtain were drawn and I could see into the author's inner life. Jennifer asks questions we all have about why we suffer in this life. I found myself both laughing and crying as I read. Most of all I found, not answers to my questions of why, but who God is and about His great love for me.
