Review: can God be Trusted?

Can God be trusted—Finding faith in troubled times. by Thomas D. Williams, Lc, ThD. 

Blurb: If trust is essential to our relationship with other people, it is even more so with God. Without trust, we cannot take a single step forward in the spiritual life. Where habitual doubt and distrust make our spiritual loves  stagnate, trust is the rich soil in which our spiritual lives flourish.

My Review:
Can God be trusted is an uplifting book that dives into the trust that we can have in Christ Jesus. Williams explains the virtue of trust and how it is something lost in our culture, how people are wary to trust because they don’t want to be let down. He talks about different reasons to trust God, and backs them up with Bible verses. He talks about how trust in God is a gift to us, and about how to handle the betrayed feeling when God “lets you down.” the whole way through the book Williams tells us quotes from many people on their opinions and beliefs about trust.

Recommendation: Anyone interested in the topic. I won’t put an age on this, because it was very easy to understand. the writing was clear and concise (unlike, say, John Bunyan. ever read his work? Geez.) and a child ages 6+ could understand it reasonably well. Not all of it, but some (though it does not feel like an elementary read).
