EVERYONE HAS EXPERIENCED TOUGH TIMES and difficult days and some people have lived through crises that challenge everything they believe in. It's during the dark times of trials and unexplainable challenges that make us cry out, "Why God? Why did you allow this thing to happen? Why do you seem to ignore the cruelty and evil in our world?" We wonder how to respond when God seems silent and our prayers go answered. These questions have plagued the minds and hearts of everyone at one time or another. I'm grateful that there are answers to these questions, and things do make sense once we see things from God's perspective and extend our faith in him. In spite of all we go through and all we witness in our world, there is a God who cares about us, who walks with us and is in control of our world. If we will open our hearts to God's truth as this book shows us, we will experience the strength and peace that God offers, and because of that we will make it through anything we face.
