Adversity touches all of us--babies die, children run away, parents get cancer, houses burn down. Stanley discovers that the Bible depicts God as the instigator of some adversity. But God is not the only source, some troubles come as a result of our own doing. Babies die, children run away, parents get cancer, houses burn down, employees are fired . . .why? Stanley explores answers to that persistent question. "As difficult as it may be to grasp," he says, "the Bible depicts God as the instigator of some adversity." But God is not the only source--often adversity is the result of our own actions. Helpful examples from Scripture and anecdotes from his personal and pastoral experience illuminate Stanley's clear ideas. Hardcover from Nelson.
