Böcker av Esther Maria Magnis

Where is God when your loved one gets cancer? The easy answers are all wrong.With or Without Me is an unsparing and eloquent critique of religion. Yet Esther Maria Magniss frustration is merely the beginning of a tortuous journey toward faith one punctuated by personal losses retold with bluntness and immediacy. If God is love, she writes, then its a kind of loveI do not understand. She dares to believe anyway, although her questioning wont let up. She fiercely dismantles both the clichs shes heard in church and the endless philosophizing of her parents generation.Magnis knows believing in God is anything but easy. Because he allows people to suffer. Because hes invisible. And silent. I think we miss God, she writes. I would never want to persuade anyone or put myself above atheists. I know there are good reasons not to believe. But sometimes I think most people are just sad that hes not there.With or Without Me is a book for everyone believer or unbeliever, Christian or atheist who refuses to surrender to the idea that there are easy answers to the big questions in life.
