God Is Not Fair, and Other Reasons for Gratitude

Healing the broken and the brokenhearted. Forgiving the unforgiveable. Loving the unlovable. God’s love can be astonishing—even foolish, by modern standards. Author, Franciscan friar, and retreat leader Fr. Dan Horan speaks weekly to groups of various kinds on what it means to be a follower of Jesus in the twenty-first century. His insights are often counterintuitive, in the best sense of the Gospel. This collection of essays is no exception. God Is Not Fair explores what it means to faithfully live by vows—counterculturally—today. Item# B53141
