With or Without Me is a book for everyone

believer or unbeliever, Christian or atheist who refuses to surrender to the idea that there are easy answers to the big questions in life.

Doubt about God's goodness in the face of grief is natural. With or Without Me is one woman's unsparing and eloquent memoir about the inadequacy of religion and philosophy to answer her emotional pain. Yet Esther Maria Magnis's rejection of God is merely the beginning of a tortuous journey back to faith

one punctuated by personal losses retold with bluntness and immediacy.

Magnis knows believing in God is anything but easy. Because he allows people to suffer. Because he's invisible. And silent.

""A must read for anyone who has ever pondered the meaning of life""

Reviews for With or Without Me: A Memoir of Losing and Finding

Seldom have I read a Christian book that possessed such raw energy and passion. With or Without Me is an honest account of death, bereavement and grief which lays bare what it means to love and lose. -Inspire Magazine With or Without Me is utterly necessary. Breathtakingly honest with unflinching rawness, this book is a must read for anyone who has ever pondered the meaning of life. -Lydia S. Dugdale, author of The Lost Art of Dying: Reviving Forgotten Wisdom I have not known anyone since Nietzsche who shows so shockingly what a catastrophe it is to not believe in God. -Robert Spaemann There are not many who dare to speak of God as unabashedly as Esther Maria Magnis. -Public Forum
