Book Review - Looking For God by Nancy Ortberg


I was handed this book with the highest recommendation - Bunny loved it. I've been a fan of that guy Nancy Ortberg hangs around with, her husband John, for years, so that had me expecting a lot going in. I was not disappointed.

Nancy Ortberg can tell a story with the best of them. Her glimpses into her personal walk with Jesus and the way her faith walked through them were great. She ranged from triumph to tragedy.

What would she want the reader to know?

That God is staggeringly good.

That our experience of that goodness is for our enjoyment, as well
as to reflect to us the nature of a good God that we can fully trust.

That sometimes, counter intuitively, God can be most deeply
experienced and known, during our most difficult times…and He is still
staggeringly good.


Pick it up. You'll be blessed.
