“In the whirlwind of everyday life, where setbacks, unforeseen
changes, and even heart-stricken grief are encountered often
unexpectedly, we can easily be thrown off in our understanding of
who God is and who we are. This book reminds us that the constancy
of God’s love for us and his strength are worthy anchors through
the chaos.”—Jenny Yang, vice president for advocacy and policy at
World Relief
“Prophetic, pastoral, and personal in nature, Even If is a word for
anyone in the valley, fire, or desert of spiritual life. Lee
uniquely invites the reader to look for God in difficulty and,
perhaps more importantly, determine to worship God, even when we
can’t find him. Ultimately, this is a book about real faith, deep
faith, and anchored faith—a faith beyond private devotion and
personal experience, inherited from ancient followers of God,
ancient sufferers throughout Scripture, and those mighty saints who
have gone before us.”—Aubrey Sampson, church planter and author of
The Louder Song and Known
“Even If combines the insights of a seasoned biblical scholar with
the empathy and honesty of a loving pastor. It’s refreshingly
honest, unexpectedly humorous, and enormously helpful. I have no
doubt that it will help thousands of people navigate the pain and
disappointment of life.”—Pete Greig, founder of 24-7 Prayer
International and author of God on Mute
“Whether we are walking through flames or living in the valley of
the shadow of death, Mitchel Lee gives us hope and strengthens our
resolve to stretch our faith in God, regardless of the
circumstances. Even If is a book that will inspire your trust in
God, who always comes through one way or another.”—Dr. David
Anderson, author of the award-winning book Gracism
“I so relate to this book. Only those who have not lived enough
years might miss the desperate need we have for the truth contained
in these pages. If you find yourself as a valley dweller right now,
or know someone who is, let Mitchell Lee be your personal guide to
courage and freedom.”—Randy Frazee, pastor and author of His Mighty
Strength
“A well-written book full of pastoral wisdom and personal insights.
The plot centers on the biblical confrontation between Daniel’s
three friends and Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. The author
continues to circle back to this confrontation, making helpful
application to difficult situations we face and what it means to
live out an even if faith.”—Dave McDowell, pastor and author of The
Goodness of Affliction
“Mitchel Lee is refreshingly real, deeply thoughtful, and
biblically grounded. Whatever may come and wherever we may find
ourselves, he points us with a pastor’s heart toward life-giving
hope and the powerful presence of God.”—Dr. Steve A. Brown,
president of Arrow Leadership and author of Jesus Centered
