God is Good by Margaret Liu Collins is both a memoir and a testimony of the life of a woman learning to trust in a trustworthy God. In this book, the author takes the reader through the extraordinary miracles and seemingly mundane experiences that have defined her life. There are dark moments that deepened her understanding of God’s love, such as an unchosen divorce and the severe injury of a child, and moments of plenty and rejoicing, such as when she felt prompted to make financial investments that brought her family out of hardship. Collins describes her experiences with prayer, giving, witnessing, and even praying in tongues, and the many ways that all these gifts and sacrifices have drawn her back to the same truth—our God is a loving Father who is generous beyond our imagination and worthy of all praise.
As a Christian, God is Good by Margaret Liu Collins both challenged and encouraged me even beyond my expectations. In telling her story, Collins tactfully speaks about abuse, wrestling with her faith, and her complicated feelings during these times with humility, honesty, and clarity. The book cites Bible passages frequently, which I appreciated, both for having claims about God’s goodness that I agreed with wholeheartedly, and theological claims that challenged me or caused hesitation. I recommend this book even to readers who are concerned they may not fully agree with Collins on every point—her dedication to pointing the reader back to the need for a relationship with God will bolster faith and encourage deeper meditation on the Kingdom of God.
