It's often as much suffering as celebration, with lots of mundane, everyday stuff in between. I write for people who may have been hurt by someone in church, people who have been discouraged by one who claimed to speak for God . . . I write for people who have found contentment in their faith but want a deeper relationship with God.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gray \u0026 Company Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45156495130775,"sku":"9781598510508","price":1031.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781598510508.webp?v=1767301773","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/faith-and-you-volume-1-essays-on-faith-in-everyday-life-9781598510508","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
