In the biblical book of Habakkuk, a prophet from the Old Testament poses a multitude of questions. What makes it special is that he directs these questions to God, and he does so without holding back. He often struggles to understand God's actions. He lives during the time when the northern part of Israel is being exiled because the people have turned away from their God. Habakkuk disagrees with this punishment because, from his perspective, not all of his fellow countrymen have abandoned God. Therefore, he wonders why the righteous must also suffer in this world and why many people in the southern part of the country, who have far more sins, are not punished. Where is the divine logic in that?

The author Leo Bigger writes from personal experience. Speaking candidly and without pious platitudes, he addresses God with remarkable honesty, much like Habakkuk. Through his authentic and often cheeky manner, he helps both himself and us draw closer to God and understand Him better. This is a book for anyone longing for a passionate, honest communication and relationship with God.
