Book Cover & Preview Text
It is man’s great misconception that good people should never suffer. No one ever promised that. But good people who suffer have the privilege of bringing their pain to the Healer. Nothing is ever random or out of control, even though the world may perceive things that way. I live with the certainty that my life is held lovingly by the One who created me. I may not always understand why He allows trials to come my way, but with God’s track record, I can afford to trust Him!
