The God Worth Trusting: Restoring Faith in a Good God

A thoughtful, encouraging reason to believe that God is good, even when life is not.

Many of us want to trust God, but we just can’t. We have trust issues. We see heartbreak in the world, or experience it personally, and don’t understand how a good God could have allowed it.

We have questions.
How could a good God allow so much pain?
Why would God allow this to happen?
If God could have stopped it, why didn’t he stop it?
Why is God doing this to me?
Do I even want to trust in a God who would allow this?

Ryan Maher—pastor and co-leader of digital ministries that reach hundreds of millions each month, including Trust God Bro, Her True Worth, and The Prayer Channel—knows the kind of gut-wrenching, life-changing pain that can make a person question everything.

Ryan draws from his own story and those of others to wrestle with the hard questions about God’s goodness, human suffering, and what trust really looks like. This is not a book of easy answers, but an honest path back to the God who invites our questions and walks with us through the pain

With biblical clarity and deep empathy, this book offers hope for the doubter, healing for the wounded, and a vision of a God who meets us in our pain, redeems what’s been broken, and proves Himself faithful—again and again.
