About this listen

Are you looking to strengthen your relationship with God? Do you find yourself untangling the threads of what it is you really believe? Are you longing for a deeper connection to your spiritual side? Bunmi Laditan has been in your shoes.

In the midst of her darkest days, Bunmi began writing down her deepest fears, hopes, dreams, and frustrations with God in the form of letters. The result of Bunmi's soul-searching journey is Dear God, a collection of funny, heartbreaking, and deeply insightful prayers that put words to the emotions we all feel as we grapple with this broken world and search for divine love.

With the same gutsy and poetic honesty that has already charmed people around the world, Bunmi now shares these moving, intimate conversations with God—prayers and poems that chart her story of reconnecting with the God she loved, lost, and found once again.

Dear God catalogs what we're all thinking as we work out our personal relationships with God. These candid field notes will stir your heart and make you laugh out loud with Bunmi's self-awareness and profound insight into the spiritual journeys we're all doing our best to navigate.

Join Bunmi as she travels through those all-too-familiar emotions—doubt, anger, joy, desperation, love, loneliness, and gratefulness—that humanity has always wrestled with. Wittily fresh and stunningly relatable, she exquisitely shares the painfully honest questions she's asked along the way, including:

  • God, what is holiness?
  • God, how can it be worth it to love life when it could slip away at any moment?
  • God, what do I do when forgiveness feels impossible?
  • God, I know you love me, but do you like me?

This poignant collection of prayers is a timely reminder that even when we wander, God never leaves our side.

Not A Author I'd Read Again

I decided on a whim to listen to this author for the first time. It wasn't what I was expecting. I thought it would be more like poetry but what I read was more like letters and random thoughts of appreciation to the lord. Would I read one of her books again? Maybe not. This author doesnt seem to have the flowing writing style I'm used to reading.

Favourite entry:
Dear God,
I've been thinking about forgiveness a lot lately. You've seen into my heart, you know what I keep in there, and that anger, bitterness, and hurt drip from the walls like sticky honey. I've tried to forgive and let go but just when I think I’m over it something will remind me and it's like I'm living in a nightmare again. Is it possible to forgive and forget or is forgiveness just a decision to try. I want to forgive the way you say you do, removing all memory of sin and shame, throwing them as far as the east is from the west, whipping the slate clean but I'm not god. I'm me. Forgiving...how do I do this? How do I do this when letting go might leave me vulnerable to getting hurt again? How do I do it when the person isn't even sorry? When the anger comes back I choose to try and forgive because you forgave me. If I believe in your forgiveness I have to believe in mine too. The power to forgive must be the strongest in the universe. It's a legacy that comes from you. Help me be powerful enough to let things go. Help me god because I can't do it by myself. I want so badly to let go and forgive, not for their sake but mine. For the burden of the past is too heavy to carry into each new day. Help me God.
Love,
Me.
