God isn't disappointed with our questions, even the hard ones. 

Readers of Scripture throughout the ages have looked down on "doubting Thomas" drawing the conclusion that perhaps faith questions are best kept to ourselves. Feeling isolated and ashamed, Christians often resort to self-help books, Google search binges, and endless social media scrolls looking for answers, only to find ourselves empty, exhausted, and wrestling with more questions than when we started. But what if God is not disappointed with our doubts?

Join Kelsey Chadwick as she guides us to trust God's boundaries, treasure his revelation, and build a trusting community to deal with doubt, uncertainty, and questions of faith. Learn to see your questions with fresh eyes as we look at them together in the light of God's Word.

"This insightful book is for the true seekers of God, not for the ones who want to bypass their doubts and questions. Where Else Could I Go? is a passionate invitation to deepen your faith and learn to abide in God's Word and Spirit. With Kelsey as a compassionate and wise mentor, you will discover how to trust when you can't reach the bottom."

"The author uses the term divine eloquently throughout her writing to refer to the deity of God in our pursuit for wisdom. She details how the search for knowledge can become sinful, and though he knows it all, God is not required to reveal all. Divine mysteries are purposeful. The author encourages the reader to be content in the divine knowledge God has elected to share. Her writing points us to the divine creator, his divine nature, and his divine place for each of our lives, and it motivates us to appeal for his divine intervention rather than to handle life's struggles on our own accord. It challenges us to examine our own lives and provides tools to assist the reader in analyzing their own time. Kelsey promotes the importance of building boundaries to protect and nourish your growing relationship with Christ and provides tools to prune branches in our lives so 'the Holy Spirit can lead us to ways that we can protect ourselves from being overwhelmed with knowledge, distracted with the wrong things, and disconnected from the love relationship with the One who knows it all.' "

"I am really grateful for Dr. Kelsey Chadwick's courage to walk with us and teach us from her own experiences as she journeyed in her own questions. Her transparency opens the door of hope and a deeper engagement with the Lord. This resource is invaluable. It will bring freedom, hope, relief, and surrender to so many hearts."

-Lori Scott, author of Surrender at Rocky Point

"Where Else Could I Go? gives a voice to the emotions that surround the doubt that none of us want to admit to feeling. Kelsey Chadwick brings hope and truth to lift us from that doubt into a deeper understanding of abiding in Christ. And she teaches us that the antidote to doubt is keeping our focus on Jesus rather than the noise of the world around us."

-Diane Goetz, author of Glimpses of Truth: Hearing God's Voice in a Noisy World

"For all the chronic overthinkers and those who long for answers, Kelsey gently guides us toward the One who holds our tomorrows. Her words are not only anchored in God's Word, but they are written by a fellow sojourner who has wrestled with God, waited with expectancy, and grown deep roots. I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a reminder that God stays with us and steadies us through the questions, doubts, and searching."

"Have you ever been told, 'If you ever have doubts about God and the love he has for you, you must not be saved'? I've heard it. Many times. I began this book with a little trepidation, unsure if I was ready for a treatise on what happens when you have doubts. What I found, however, was an easy-to-read bundle of encouragement. In a season of hardship, it's difficult to reconcile the God of love with a God of wrath, but that isn't even what it's all about. One of my favorite passages in this book knocked me sideways:

Let go right now of the feeling that you just need to pull yourself up by your bootstraps to finally let go of doubt. Exhale and release it once and for all, because it's a lie from the pit. ... God planned to die for you on the cross thousands of years before you were even born and much less born again. His love for you exists outside of time and space, outside of anything at all you can offer him. He loves you because he created you. He loves you just for existing. (emphasis mine)

"When you feel like you've lost everything that matters, you begin to question: Am I really a child of God? Can I really depend on him? Does he have the best for us, or are we trusting in the wind only to reap the whirlwind? It feels like the whirlwind when health, family, jobs, and friendships all seem to be going in the opposite direction from where you were headed. No matter how much good we do, is it enough? No. Because no one is good except God. 

I'm so glad Kelsey asked me to read her book, and I'm honored to have the privilege of sharing just a hint of the treasures that await the reader."
