A Place for Weakness

In "Too Good to Be True," Michael Horton challenges the notion that faith in Jesus guarantees health, wealth, and wisdom. He reflects on the struggles of illness, depression, and financial hardship, questioning whether such experiences signify a failure in faith or abandonment by God. Through a series of compelling readings, Horton emphasizes the importance of recognizing that true blessing comes not from our efforts to reach God, but from Jesus’ descent to us, especially in times of trial. The book ultimately reassures readers of God’s promises and the belief that even our hardest journeys serve a greater purpose.
