Thomas Jay Oord
Hurting people ask heart-felt questions about God and suffering. The usual answers fail. They don't support the truth God loves everyone all the time. God Can't gives a believable answer to why a good and powerful doesn't prevent evil.
Author Thomas Jay Oord says God’s love is inherently uncontrolling. God loves everyone and everything, so God can't control anyone or anything. This means God cannot prevent evil single-handedly. God can’t stop evildoers, whether human, animal, organism, or inanimate objects and forces.
God Can't was written in understandable language. Thomas Jay Oord's status as a world-renowned theologian brings credibility to the book’s radical ideas. He explains these ideas through true stories, illustrations, and scripture.
God Can't is for those who want answers to tragedy, abuse, and other evils that make sense!

Critic reviews
"To find your understanding of life and your love for God renewed, read this book." (Dr. Karen Strand Winslow, Ph.D., Professor of Bible, Azusa Pacific University)
“Victims of trauma sometimes hear theological responses that imply their suffering is somehow “God’s will." Oord gives us a clear and compelling alternative in this profoundly insightful and admirably concrete and accessible book.” (Dr. Anna Case-Winters, Professor of Theology at McCormick Theological Seminary)
“I know of no book that speaks to suffering with the depth of theological sophistication and psychological sensitivity as God Can’t. I recommend it to my students, parishioners, and therapy clients.” (Dr. Brad D. Strawn, Professor of Psychology and Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary)

As I was listening to the authors very convincing talk, I none the less kept repeating the question, “than how are you supposed to pray to God?”. To a “God who can’t.” (I have been praying this prayer every day the past number of years, sometimes multiple times a day, and the recent years in Greek. I am a Christian of 58 years. ) What the author is saying makes real sense. Listening to the very last word, and repeating the Lord’s Prayer, I suddenly realized, this is the prayer that the real loving Jesus (God) taught us to pray, and this is the perfect prayer, nothing more but nothing less.
Your insight is profound, and life changing Dr. Oord. I can’t thank you enough! (John K.)
At last, I understand the Lord’s Prayer !
