“Why God? Why did you let this happen? Why do you allow so much pain?” Be it a job loss, illness, or loss of a spouse or child, these are questions we’ve all had. It’s as much a cry as a question; a wound; a shout of betrayal of all the rules of life and fairness as you knew them.
Bob Russell offers no trite platitudes to answer the questions in Acts of God, the accompaniment book to the Acts of God videos and curriculum. Instead, through the biblical story of Joseph, he provides assurance that we are in a bigger story than the pain, suffering, and trials tell us we’re in.
Whether you’re in the middle of suffering, processing something from your past, or seeking answers to the suffering you see around you, Acts of God shows a way back to hope; hope in God that brings hope to our circumstances.
From the Back Cover
“Sooner or later, just like the rest of us, you’ll ask The Question:
‘Why, God? Why did You let this happen?’”
Bob Russell has seen it all. From a tragedy in his childhood church, to broken families among those he has loved as a pastor, to a world torn by war and injustice. Why?
But he thinks we’re asking the wrong question. Rather, we should be asking Who? Who is God, and what is He doing as our hearts are hurting?
With compassion and wisdom, Bob Russell helps you turn your Why? into Who?—and lead you to the God who can be trusted.
