What Good Is God?: Finding Faith and Hope in Troubled Times
No Customer Reviews
Doug Herman lost his wife and young daughter to AIDS, contracted from a blood transfusion, and was subsequently asked to leave the church where he served. Disillusioned with the church and God, Herman writes, I was left with nothing but the skeleton of my faith-just enough to believe there was a God who would hear and answer my question: 'What good is God?'With his faith restored, he now uses his experiences to reach others in pain. He too has suffered and doubted, pummeling the heavens with the question: If God is good, why do I hurt so much? Herman tackles this query and more in What Good Is God?, an account that includes contemporary and biblical stories to illustrate the Lord's faithfulness in times of trouble. Special features such as prayer prompts from the Psalms, quotes, and suggested book resources give readers tangible guidance in growing spiritually even as they're struggling with their faith.Written with the empathy of a fellow traveler and the wisdom of a learned guide, this book is a welcome message of hope for readers seeking truth and comfort as they travel the sometimes-painful path of life.
