Description

In the wake of life-changing events whether as global in reach as the terrorist attacks on September 11 or as personal as the death of a child the first question that springs to mind is Why? Why do good people suffer pain and loss? Why does God allow these things to happen? In this simple, straightforward book, Bruce Henderson tackles some of the most difficult questions that people of faith face in their lives. Drawing from the wisdom of visionary Emanuel Swedenborg, who wrestled with these same questions more than two hundred years ago, Henderson describes a universe in which God allows us free will and choice, subtly guiding the course of our lives with an insight no mortal can comprehend. In the end, the question is not why these things happen, but what good can come of them. In this, Henderson says, God is our partner and guiding hand, turning pain into hope and trust.
