Finding God in the Face of Evil

Description of Finding God in the Face of Evil:

"After the events of September 11, people packed churches all over the country. Desperate to make sense of the terrible tragedies, they came to church filled with questions. Finding God in the Face of Evil is an attempt to deal with the real questions that people were and still are asking. It is not a 'theological treatise' but rather some honest answers to difficult questions." --Ed Dobson Evil and trouble have always existed in our broken world. The towers of personal security and success we build are assaulted by suffering. Our lives are shaken, and, for some, life collapses under the attack of evil. Tragedy brings the questions racing into our daily routine, screaming to be answered. Few of us are prepared to confront those questions on a day-to-day level without falling back on clichés and pat theological answers. Struggling daily with a degenerative neurological disease, and having personally witnessed the devastation at ground zero in New York City, Ed Dobson is uniquely positioned to engage the haunting questions we all ask when our lives seem to be falling apart.
