From The Back Cover:
 
 

If you've ever prayed long and hard over a certain request,

or questioned God because of the way he answered,

or doubted your faith,

or struggled through a time of spiritual dryness, 

or puzzled over the discrepancies between what you've heard at church and how your life really is

...then you've wrestled with God, 

whether or not you were aware of it at the time.

Wrestling With God is part how-to manual, part Bible study, and part exercise in theology, written with the goal of opening your eyes to God's desire for a vital and real relationship with you. 

You'll see how wrestling with God ensures that you develop that relationship, holding back nothing, keeping no secrets, and strengthening your faith. 

Learn how to hold onto God through troubling circumstances and difficult questions. 

Discover how to find answers to your prayers and questions - and what to do when God simply pins you to the mat, totally flooring you by his power and mysterious grace.

Like Jacob who wrestled with God and was blessed, you are part of God's wrestling team - and he wants to bless you.  Wrestling With God is a trustworthy guide to the rules and rewards of this spiritual "contact sport."
