Sitting Strong: Wrestling with the Ornery God - Softcover

Sitting Strong: Wrestling with the Ornery God, by bestselling author Jeanie Miley, suggests that when life knocks the props out from under you, it is possible to gather up your agony and wrestle with it in the presence of the God who may feel strangely absent. This book is not about being strong. Rather, taking the struggles and triumphs of Job as its guide, this book is about that terrible time when all you can do is stumble onto the ash heap of suffering and simply sit.

Jeanie Miley is an author, columnist, retreat leader, speaker and long time Bible study teacher and curriculum writer. She lives in Houston, Texas, with her husband, Martus Miley. They are parents of three adult daughters and have six grandchildren. Her previous books for Smyth & Helwys are The Spiritual Art of Creative Silence, Ancient Psalms for Contemporary Pilgrims, Becoming Fire, and Christheart.
