About this listen
Meeting the Man of Sorrows Where We Need Him Most
We all long for a life worth living. So when we receive news of a frightening diagnosis, suffer heartbreaking loss in our family life, or get trapped in a cycle of our own sin, we might wonder about God. Where is he when we need him most? With wisdom from Isaiah 57:15, Good News at Rock Bottom helps listeners discover that Jesus is hard to find in the comfortable lives we prefer. Instead, he meets us at rock bottom—where he is waiting for us with open arms.
With grace and empathy, author Ray Ortlund opens a door for listeners to go deeper with God and get closer to faithful friends when life is hard to bear. You will discover that, at rock bottom, Jesus is more satisfying than any comfortable life without him.
- Empathetic: Author Ray Ortlund meets listeners with honesty and helps them fall into the arms of Christ amid the painful seasons of life
- Appeals to Sufferers: Will resonate with anyone who has experienced betrayal, failure, loneliness, or wondered if God even cares
- Ideal for Individual or Small-Group Use: Questions at the end of each chapter spur discussion with friends and reflection in one's own heart

Great presentation, but disappointing
Ray is a great writer and narrator. His story telling is clear and easy to understand. You can feel his Pastoral heart and care for the reader as he presents the concept of finding Jesus at rock bottom, rather than in the "mushy middle". The introduction and 1st chapter pulls you in with great promise and hope that you can find answers in this book.
But unfortunately I was quite disappointed with the lack of depth and practicality of the book. I myself am someone who is at rock bottom. I recently lost a child and my faith in Jesus is at an all time low. Trying to find God and reconnect in that relationship with him seems impossible, and his promises have not come through. I couldn't relate or connect with much of the themes and concepts in the book, as they skimmed the surface of some deep and complex issues. Grief and loss, and lack of trust in God's Character would have been something I would like to have seen covered in the book.
I appreciate the effort and I'm sure others will find this book very helpful.
