"Faith and Other Flat Tires: Searching for God on the Rough Road of Doubt," by Andrea Palpant Dilley

The human condition is something that we all struggle with day in and day out.  No one likes to see suffering and many ask why?  God is bigger than it all and he can make it all better, but there is still evil, danger, pain and suffering.  So many people do not understand sin and free will to understand how pain and suffering can still reign supreme.

Andrea Palpant Dilley having been a missionary child experienced many levels of exhilaration and despair.  Faith and Other Flat Tires is a memoir of her life and her experiences through faith, the ups and the downs.  Andrea does not hold anything back in her dialogue about her own life.  She lays it all on the line for others to understand that with faith there are questions.  Some of those questions may never be answered and some we may not get the answer we were hoping for, but that is part of faith and growing in faith.  

I enjoyed reading Faith and Other Flat Tires.  It was well written and made me want to read more as I progressed further in the book.  Although I do no exactly agree with her conclusion, I understand how she reached that conclusion.

Faith and Other Flat Tires is worth the read and I would highly recommend others read it.  Although, I may not recommend it to those who are new to faith.  Andrea's questions and conclusions may be slightly confusing to those still seeking to understand God and His place in their own world.
