WHYme?

This is a book you can ask us to send you containing 8 short stories of people who’s lives have been hugely changed and affected by the horrible circumstances they have been through. From disabled and dying children to murdered spouses these true stories paint the painful and realistic impact of suffering.
Instead of writing a defence of God, Roger Carswell hand-picked 8 individuals who all tell of the help and goodness of God in their troubled lives. They describe how God used their bad circumstances to bring about good and how they have a deeper relationship with the Lord as a result of what they went through.
This is a helpful book. As it ends it reflects on how the Christian is someone who has God to thank when everything is going well, but they also have a God to cry out to when everything is going wrong. He is a God who will always listen and never abandons us, the God who said, "Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:20; and whose earliest followers tell us we can "Cast all our anxiety on him because he cares..." 1 Peter 5:7
