Inhaltsangabe

Faith After Rupture: Habakkuk and the Struggle to Trust God When the World Stops Making Sense explores what happens to faith when the world fractures—when justice fails, suffering lingers, and God seems silent. Drawing on the prophet Habakkuk, the book follows a journey that begins with protest, moves through confusion, and ends not in easy answers but in a hard-won, resilient trust.

This is not a book that explains suffering away. Instead, it gives readers permission to ask dangerous, honest questions—How long? Why? Where are you, God?—and discovers that such questions are not signs of weak faith but the beginning of a deeper one.

The purpose of the book is to help readers—especially those shaped by loss, moral injury, or disillusionment—recover a form of faith that can endure rupture. Its central claim is simple but demanding: faith after everything falls apart is not the same as faith before—but it can still be real, still be faithful, and still be lived.
