When Psychologist Rocky Devos lost his wife to cancer, he also lost his faith in the fairness of God. For over a year, he lived in the thin space between his love for God and his hatred for what he believed God did. Each night, he banged on heaven's gate demanding an explanation.

"Why Rachel, Lord? Why would you let her suffer like that? Why didn't you do something? Why didn't you give us a miracle?"

The longer his prayers went unanswered the more frustrated he became. Eventually, he meets God's silence with a silence of his own. But then, a year and four months later, the answer arrives disguised as a homeless vagabond who claims to be the apostle Paul. Clearly, Rocky believes he was delusional. But in their court-appointed sessions, he finds a kindred spirit. As Paul unpacks the pain of losing his wife in childbirth the two men connect. Rocky believes he's there to help Paul. Paul believes the opposite.

The book explores the thin space between faith and doubt. Rocky's questions are our questions. At some point we will all lose someone we love. When we do, we will find comfort in the company of those who have walked the path of suffering before us. Rocky invites us to join him on his journey of redemption. His conversations with Paul will not only change the way he thinks about God, they may do the same for you as well.
