A winsome conversion story from a longtime crusader for international human rights who unexpectedly meets a loving God in the crucible of human suffering.

In a world awash in evil, the author unexpectedly finds herself on a faith journey--from sceptic to atheist to believer. Says Burkhalter, "I wrote the book to answer the question that kept me from believing for almost my entire adult life: why does a good God allow such suffering on earth?" Holly's riveting story unfolds in the grip of its soul-rending question, and it will resonate with a generation of globally oriented, social activists--agnostic and evangelical alike. She brings to the page the voice of a heartbroken idealist who is fearlessly, often angrily, sometimes hilariously at odds with a cruel and distant God. He is a Being she "doesn't believe in," of course, until the day she finds herself drawn into a community of fellow activists who actually love, worship, and serve this same God. Holly's style is witty, thoughtful, literate, and deeply affecting.
