Review of Blindsided by God by Peter Chin

Have you ever felt blindsided by life? Have you ever felt blindsided by God?

That is the subject of Peter Chin's recently-released book, "Blindsided by God: Disappointment, Suffering, and the Untamable Goodness of God."

Can I just say, in short, that I LOVED this book? I did.

Peter Chin and his wife moved with their two daughters to an inner-city location where they began a church congregation. He felt certain he was in God's will. They were blessed with health, purpose, each other. . . then they experienced some tremendous suffering in the span of a few short months. Miscarriage, a robbery, breast cancer, termination of health insurance. . . Why was this happening to them? If they were doing God's will, why would he allow them to suffer so much?

This is a powerful book. One thing that I especially loved is that he doesn't preach at readers, but just tells his story and what he learned. And, along the way, we see some of God's mysterious ways unfold in the lives of the Chins. I was blown away by the ending.

Overall, the book was so encouraging, uplifting and on a very important topic. I got another glimpse of God's wonderful love for his children. I am passing it along with an enthusiastic thumbs-up!

I received a complimentary copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
