Why read it?
1 author picked The Rose and the Thistle as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book contains tough questions that I have struggled with in the past like, “Why would God allow this to happen?” “Does God see me?” “How can God use this for His glory?” I found comfort in these pages.

From S.L.'s list on heavy and hopeful themes.
