Like David, Job, Jeremiah, and other saints of old, Jennifer Rothschild asks the hard questions of God with startling honesty and refreshing transparency. And, akin to Jacob, Jennifer wrestles mightily with God through the dark night of her soul — that readers might experience the relief of His light and the certain assurance of His blessings.

After many years of great friendship and Bible study with Jennifer Rothschild, I have witnessed her immense passion for Christ’s ability to heal and inspire others. In God Is Just Not Fair, she asks the hardest, timeless questions of faith while bringing hope to others who, like Jennifer, have gone through the testing challenges of life. Mark Richt, head football coach, University of Georgia
In this tender book full of compassion, Jennifer wrestles through the questions that can rise to the surface during painful circumstances. “Why is this happening?” “Is God there and does He care?” Unlike other resources that wrestle with these deep issues from the head, Jennifer does so from the heart. She will show you how to have unrelenting courage to plead for God’s power and, at the same time, for remarkable strength to trust God’s plan. This is a book I’ll be recommending for years to come. Lysa TerKeurst, author of the New York Times bestseller Unglued: Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries
