This is an easy to read book. I found myself reevaluating God vs. my role in our lives. How He uses people (His tool) to answer the prayers/needs of others. It is a book that may help people who are suffering and wonder where God is when they are suffering. From reading this book, I will be more attentive to His nudges.

Hamilton tackles the hard questions faced by many Christians. Why do bad things happen to good people? Why doesn't God answer my prayers? Why can't I see God's plan for my life? While he doesn't provide all the answers, he does offer a different perspective of "why".

The Adam Hamilton take on Why Bad Things Happen to Good People. It's a very common sense take on God's role in these things.
