Why Me? A Spiritual Guide to Growing Through Tests

by Justice Saint Rain

This book explains in a simple, profound and often humorous way, why a kind and loving God will give us tests in order to help us develop our full spiritual potential. Starting with the metaphor of a gardener pruning a rose bush, it goes on to explain the four kinds of tests, the role of emotions in identifying tests, and the spiritual tools we can use to pass tests with flying colors. Personal tests can either draw us towards God, or push us away. If you are facing challenges that threaten to weaken your faith in God, this book will renew your faith and expand your vision of who you are and why you are here. It has already helped thousands of people discover the hidden gifts behind the tests they are facing. It offers a much more convincing explanation of why God allows us to face difficulties than the book "Why Bad Things Happen to Good People." By the author of "The Secret of Emotions."

About the author

My goal as a writer is not to say what I have to say in the best way possible, but to say what my readers need to hear when they are alone and confused and feel that no one in the world could possibly understand what they are going through.
I write to comfort, to enlighten, and to inspire.
I believe three things:
That the purpose of life is to develop our virtues.
That virtues are the signs of God reflected in the human heart.
That our emotions help us recognize and follow these signs.

The implications of these three simple observations could fill volumes - and that is what I am trying to do. I invite your insights and input.
