Such a beautiful depiction of wrestling with our faith in suffering we don’t understand and learning to trust God in the midst of it. I appreciated so much the struggle between what we can’t make sense of and can’t control, especially when facing hit after hit, trusting and leaning on God even when it doesn’t make sense. Also such great description of the fear of vulnerability and failure, and forgiveness. I thought it was very well done. 

Also loved the glimpse into WW2 in Burma which I’ve never read about before. Really fascinating.
