Is God really good? Is he good to others? Is he good to us? And if the answer is yes, why does it often feel like he's so far away? Walk with Abby as she follows Jesus through the book of John. In 13 stories, we discover piece by piece, through Jesus, who God is - and we also see 13 very different modern-day believers awake to these truths in their own lives. These personal and biblical stories, along with further Scripture and application and discussion questions, will show us that God is for us, not against us. He will draw our hearts back to himself.

She shows us how to express our laments to God and to each other when things are definitely not okay. And through this process we will discover a richer connection with God - who has wanted nothing more than our whole selves from the start.

Upon his release he founded the New Zealand Company and became principally responsible for the colonisation of that country, where he is now a prominent figure. Ellen, on the other hand, died in childbirth at the age of 19.
