Lord, Where Are You When Bad Things Happen?: A Devotional Study on Living by Faith

"Lord, Where Are You When Bad Things Happen" is an excellent book to read if you're going through a tough time in your life. Ms. Arthur has excellent insight on emotional and physical pain that we all face from time to time. I'd suggest this book to anyone because, let's face it, we all hurt sometimes and wonder if God is around.

This is a great book for a bible study!

Can the Almighty really control everything or do some things slip through His grasp? Of course, there is the devil, and he is just as powerful as God, isn't he? Perhaps, he gets the upper hand on God, catching Him off-guard. Aren't they fighting constantly for control of the world?Maybe God doesn't want to do anything about evil the world. Perhaps, He has a dark side that doesn't care about human suffering, or even enjoys it. Can He be trusted to do what's best for the world?In this book, Kay Arthur answers your questions concerning evil in the world. She leads you through Habakkuk and many related texts to show you who God is and why we should trust Him. Learn the truth about the God of the Bible from the Bible itself. Discover how God will deal with evil and injustice, and what He's already done to curtail it.Establish yourself in the truth of God's Word. Christianity's #1 problem needn't be a problem for you.

This book is awesome! It definitely answers the question of "Lord, where are You when bad things happen?" Unfortunately, sometimes God is using the bad to judge sin. This book is very thorough, though, and reminds us of the character of God. If we are obedient to Him, if we love Him, then He will turn the bad into our ultimate good. By looking at the words of Habakkuk the prophet, you will be challenged to say, "Lord, things look bad, but I trust You. As long as I have You, I will stand, no matter what." If you're only willing to read one book in the "Lord" series, choose this one! It will expose you to God's Word and renew your faith in God.
