DISAPPOINTMENT WITH GOD
«Awake, O Lord! Why do you sleep?
Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever.
Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression?»
— Psalm 44, verses 23-24 (NIV)
BOOK I
GOD WITHIN THE SHADOWS
«“You do not have to sit outside in the dark.
If, however, you want to look at the stars,
you will find that darkness is required.
The stars neither require nor demand it.»
— Annie Dillard
