Publisher's summary

When the ground shakes, and a poor nation's economy is destroyed; when the waters rise, washing away a community's hopes and dreams; when a child suffers neglect and abuse; when violence tears apart nations: Where is God? If God is all powerful, and if each one of us is a beloved child of God, then how can God allow tragedy and suffering to infest his creation?

When we lift our prayers to God and no answer seems to come; when we earnestly seek to know the will of God for our lives, yet can't seem to discern it; when God seems far away: Where is God? If God counts the hairs on our head, and knows every sparrow that falls, why is finding and understanding God's will so difficult at times?

In Why?: Making Sense of God's Will best-selling author Adam Hamilton brings fresh insight to the age-old question of how to understand the will of God. Rejecting simplistic answers and unexamined assumptions, Hamilton addresses how we can comprehend God's plan for the world and ourselves.

it's important to watch what you say and when.

although I don't agree with everything Adam Hamilton says. I do thank him for his wisdom and the work he does for our Lord Jesus Christ. I would have liked it better if he narrated the audio book.

Adam Hamilton is truly a man of logical faith

I know that sounds like a contradiction but it isn’t. Adam is a man of deep faith in God but also very bound by the physical and scientific rules that govern human existence on this planet.

If you struggle with faith at all, either for this instant or for your life, I believe this book will really help you. He puts faith into context as well as biblical teaching. I can’t recommend it highly enough. I only wish it was Adam’s voice reading it rather than the narrator.

Great book

This book has answered many questions for me. It made the will of God Simple and yet true. It makes you realize how much God wants to use us each day to be a blessing to others. Sometimes we can be the answer to someone's prayers.

Thoughtful and honest

I am not always a fab of Adam Hamilton but I recommend this book to all Christians. The illustrations are real and honest. Reflections indicate personal experience.

Thanks for reminding me that I should listen to the small voice within myself so God can use me!

Hamilton never disappoints

I listened to this twice in a row, will order a paper version, and will give some as gifts. He explains the Bible in common sense terms and always enlightens me. And he takes complex ideas and makes them easy to understand. Read it!
