Type One Confessional: God, a Pastor, and a Girl with Type 1 Diabetes - Hardcover

“Pastor Thoma welcomes us into the fray. He invites us, adeptly, into some pretty expressive dialogues with God, and as he does this, we are reminded that through faith in Jesus, nothing is ever too big. From upheaval to anger to acceptance, Thoma shows us that while God has unique plans for every individual, through the work of Christ, a wonderful plan has already unfolded that is universal in scope and beneficial for all. Also, as you receive all of this from these conversations, you may even discover—as I did—a special reassurance in knowing that even pastors get angry with God, but also that God understands the frustrations of His people, and regardless of the circumstances, He is working to keep us in the faith and not push us away.”
—Eric Hipple, Former Quarterback for the Detroit Lions and author of Real Men Do Cry

“If your path is uncertain and chocked full of sorrows, pick up this book and read it. You simply must meet this fretting father and his faithful God. You'll discover that you are not alone. Thoma understands. More importantly, his Lord does, too.”
—Rev. Dr. Peter J. Scaer, Associate Professor of Exegetical Theology, Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana, and author of The Lukan Passion and the Praiseworthy Death
