Publisher's Synopsis
When it comes to trust, what we believe about God is critical. And, to be perfectly honest, there are things about Him that we don't want to believe, or even like. Therein lies much of the problem when it comes to how we feel about trusting Him.
The challenging events of our lives, and the actions of those who touch our lives with evil hands, mock the existence of a God who is trustworthy. If He is both all-powerful and good, as the Scriptures claim, then why does He not stop evil and injustice in its tracks? Ours is a world that seems more Master-less than mastered. Is God like the capricious and cruel mythical deities who according to legend delighted in tormenting mortals and lesser gods? How can disaster, disease and death be the expressions of a loving God? What about my unanswered prayers? Where is He when I need Him most? What does adversity and suffering have to do with a good God? How can I trust this God? And just what can I trust Him with? Using an abundance of Scriptural support, A Question of Trust addresses the issue of just how much authority God has over our lives and the events and people that come into our lives. More importantly, it explains, as much as it is possible for this particular author to do, the reasons behind why He exercises His authority in the way He does, and how that exercise is both absolutely loving and good. Hopefully, it will help us to understand why we can trust God no matter what. Each chapter includes questions which allow the reader to interact with the material.
