"When we first come to faith, it is as if a light comes on. Everything seems so clear, clean, simple. Later, when we have to wrestle with disappointments with God, ourselves and others, we wonder what has happened. If Christ is 'the answer,' why do we have so many questions? Writing honestly out of his own experience, James Emery White helps us to see the paradox: that it is precisely in embracing the darkness--not avoiding it--that the light shines on! I recommend this book heartily. It will help us to know God more fully, understand and accept ourselves more realistically, and live our lives in Christ more authentically."

"Embracing the Mysterious God is relevant, fresh, honest and forthright. In this most readable book, James E. White wrestles with the mysteries of our great and majestic God with a remarkable sensitivity to the struggles and doubts of faithful Christ-followers and seekers as well. Those who read this book carefully and reflectively will indeed be drawn to embrace God faithfully and to love him fully with heart, soul, mind and strength."

"James Emery White lays bare the tension points--doubt, confusion, resentment--that stifle true intimacy with God. By walking us through our deepest struggles to understand God, White is just the person to chip away at the wall separating us from our deepest desires to know and be known by God and each other."

"Wrestling with God is an anointed book. As I read, I felt constrained to stop frequently to think, to take notes, to reflect on my own spiritual journey and, finally, to thank God for such a rich feast of thought and insight."
