Reviews & Endorsements
“Alex Gee is a pastor, activist and writer whose writing nourishes the soul. He is a man whose vital faith honors the complexity of life while never evading the bracing simplicity of the gospel challenge. He is a Christian whose convictions have been made manifest in countless works of community building that strengthen the weakest among us and throw bridges across our divides. And he is a writer who does not exhort but models–revealing his own struggles, sufferings, weaknesses and failures, all the while testifying to the tenacity of God’s grace. I know your life will be enriched, as mine has been, by Alex’s life and work through this probing and faith-filled book.”
“This is not a story for people who like easy answers or quick fixes. But I can testify to the fact that it is a true story. It is the story of a ‘man of God’ who almost ceased to be one–and whose life was changed forever, by the God whom he nearly abandoned. And it is a story still being written.”
“When God Lets You Down addresses a subject that few Christians dare approach–profound anger and disappointment with God. Alex takes us on an intimate heartbreaking journey with him that encourages readers to know that their honest expression of anger with God is the beginning of their healing process. Gripping . . . brutally honest account of how this man wrestled God for his faith.”
“This book offers a rich invitation to walk with Alex and Jackie on their own painful road to Emmaus. Here one discovers afresh the God whose nature is steadfast love and whose abiding presence redeems our sorrows and transforms us more into the likeness of Christ. Alex insightfully wields Scripture to refine expectations and realign trust in the One who will never leave us nor forsake us. One sees in Alex’s and Jackie’s parental passion a profound vision of the fatherly and motherly heart of God.”
