\n\t\tHONEST PRAYERS TO A GOD WHO LISTENS\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\n\n

Dear God<\/em> is a poignant collection of funny, often heartbreaking, and deeply insightful letters to God that bravely share the emotions we all feel<\/strong> as we grapple with this broken world and search for divine love.<\/p>\n

With the same gutsy and poetic honesty that charmed readers around the world, Bunmi now shares prayers and poems that chart her faith journey toward reconnecting with the God she loved<\/strong>, lost, and realized had never left her side even while she wandered.<\/p>\n

Join Bunmi as she journeys through emotions we all experience-doubt, anger, joy, desperation, love, loneliness, and gratefulness. Wittingly fresh and stunningly relatable<\/strong>, she exquisitely names our fears, voices our painful questions, and bravely says what we’re all thinking anyway in our prayerful wrestling with God.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStart Reading\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOrder Now\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n

“If you’ve ever been afraid to bring your full self to God, ashamed that deep down you’re not good enough for God to listen to, Dear God<\/em> is a window into someone who has learned that faith isn’t about trusting what we know but about trusting that we are known.<\/strong>“-JARED BYAS, author of Love Matters More<\/em> and cohost of The Bible for Normal People podcast<\/p>\t\t\n

\n\t\tMEET THE AUTHOR\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\"Bunmi\n\t\n

Bunmi grew up in a religious environment but, like so many, suffered institutional burns. She’d felt drawn to Judaism from a young age and married a Jewish man, converting to raise their children in the faith, but after the marriage ended, she found herself drifting in and out of belief.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t until she heard the unmistakable call of a loving Middle Eastern fisherman named Yeshua (Jesus) that she found home. Learn more at www.bunmiladitan.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
