NCLA Review - If you have a copy of Harold Kushner's book, "When Bad Things Happen to Good People," in your church library (and if yours doesn't, it must be the only one), then you need to purchase this book by James Howell, Pastor of Myers Park United Methodist Church in Charlotte, NC. Howell reminds us that Kushner suggested that "Bad things don't have meaning when they happen: But, we can give them a meaning." However, the Christian understands that meaning "isn't our burden to bear. We do not impose meaning. God in God's grace supplies the meaning. Hope depends on God, not on us." Thank God and Amen to that! Howell strives to answer two questions: 1) What is God's will for me? and, 2) Why do bad things happen? He does an admirable job, and towards the end of his work makes this point: "We must reconcile a good God with suffering. Christianity's solution is that the good God takes evil and suffering on God's own self in the crucifixion of Jesus (Reviewer's Note: This is something Kushner could not address). Suffering happens; God doesn't cause it so much as God bears it." This is a thought-provoking book, with questions for discussion provided at the end of every chapter, and is a work which would do well in an adult Sunday School setting. One way or another, you should buy this book. Rating: 4 —WS ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
How are we to know the will of God? In this honest discussion, veteran pastor and theologian James C. Howell considers a number of issues relating to God's will, how it is known, how it is done, and how we respond when bad things happen and we feel God is absent or has turned away from us. In this sensitive presentation, Howell explores these questions and provides ways of recognizing the true things to which we can hold in the midst of hard times. Howell proceeds simply and practically to consider personal understandings of God, God's will for our lives, and ways in which God's will is lived. He reflects on what to do and believe when bad things happen, "why" they happen, and the quest for God in the midst of it all, recognizing that God's will is for good.
