God Loves Broken People (and those who pretend they're not) by Sheila Walsh

This book addresses the issues of pain and suffering and helps people to cope with the challenges that come along with these difficult situations.  Using real life stories that are personal to her and those she knows, she tackles some of the hard questions people ask when things seem to go wrong.  She provides perspective, hope and encouragement to those encountering trouble.  There is something for everyone to gain from this book.

I found the first half of the book to be a tough slog.  She kept raising all these difficult questions, but didn't give any answers or solutions or really even much hope to the reader.  I ended up putting it down for a few months, then tried picking it back up again.  The second half of the book was much more encouraging and gave a really good perspective on dealing with challenging circumstances and ways to find healing while strengthening our faith at the same time.  If you can get through the start, the end is worth it.
