DESCRIPTION

It is a question which has plagued humankind since the dawn of existence. From the creation of the world till today, controversies and debates have been raging on and on...from the halls of academia to the coffee shops in the suburbs. 

Why...? Why does God allow bad things to happen? Why is God silent? Why didn't God intervene? 

When heartbreaks occur in a life once so serene and calm, when a sudden tumult of catastrophic outrage sears across the human consciousness, how do we respond? Whether we are Christians or not seem not to matter anymore. We start to bemuse the fact that Jesus is nevertheless God, so he is different. Job must be such a holy man, he is different. 

But poor old me. I'm just plain old Joe blow. When bad things happen, I just blow.

This special book, by one of America's beloved daughters, is a tome on how to deal with suffering. Not one who is unfamiliar with pain and personal anguish, Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of Billy and Ruth Graham, draws insightful whispers of comfort from the familiar biblical tales of Mary, Martha and Lazarus in the Gospel of John.

In the midst of one's most painful and agonizing moments, one can still drink from the rivers of God's peace. Just as you are, from where you are.
