Richard Leonard Knihy

Věta Kde je k čertu Bůh? je výkřikem, protože mlčet nebo dusit svůj hněv někdy není možné. Autor tuto útlou a velmi autentickou knížku napsal poté, co jeho sestra zůstala po autonehodě na 90 % těla ochrnutá. Proč Bůh dopouští utrpení? A jaký má k němu vztah? Otázku, kterou si kladl už Jób ve Starém zákoně, nevyřešíme spekulací. Richard Leonard věří a došel k tomu, že Bohu naše utrpení lhostejné není. Nemusíme si vybírat mezi Bohem lásky a Bohem, který nám dělá kruté věci. Podobně jako Ježíš, který pláče u hrobu svého nejlepšího přítele Lazara v 11. kapitole Janova evangelia, nestojí Bůh mimo naši bolest, ale doprovází nás v ní, drží nás v náruči a sdílí náš zármutek i bolest.
