“The Failure of God: Honesty about Faith is hard to describe. It wasn’t written to sell; it was written to share.

Susan Nelson has spent her life deeply involved in the lives of others. And she’s been searching for something she could give to her friends to read—something quite different. Something that people of all faith and non-faith perspectives would be able to read while feeling safe, heard, and respected—that would promote kindness and healing and clear thinking as we wrestle with the age-old problem of evil and suffering. Something more like deep talks with an old friend.

The Failure of God is her response to that search, the book she kept trying to find. It is born out of campfire conversations, mountain summits, and the untimely deaths of loved ones, shaped by her love of this beautifully complex world. May it be what you’ve needed and play some part in your path forward. She truly can’t wait to share it with you.”
