Overview
Living as a Black woman in America, Lisa Victoria Fields understands the tension of relying on God in a broken world. While pursuing her calling in full-time Christian ministryāan often white, male-dominated vocationāshe saw the contentions many people have with Christianity. She heard the theological questions, but instead of arguing for her faith, she listened to the barriers and heard the pain in their hearts: Why doesnāt God protect me from suffering and injustice? Others donāt seem to think I have valueādoes God?
Now, in her debut book,Ā Fields shows us how emotional paināoften more than theological concernsāis at the root of our doubt. She invites us to bring our deepest soul questions to this journey as she explores:Ā
Ā
ā¢Ā Seven pain points that might be keeping us from faith: a lack of personhood, peace, provision, pleasure, purpose, protection, and powerĀ
ā¢Ā Honest talk about how Christianity doesnāt seem to meet our very valid needsĀ
ā¢Ā Why wrestling with God doesnāt negate our faith but instead deepens itĀ
ā¢Ā What it looks like to allow God to bring healing to our pain so we can see Him and others more clearly
Through vulnerable storytelling and thoughtful use of Scripture, Fields tends to our hurting hearts and offers hope and resolve. She helps us move forward as we cling to a faith that brings us back to the truth of Christianityānot despite the pain of this world but in light of it.
