Description:

"Does God allow tornadoes? Or does He PLAN them? What about cancer? If God is in control, why pray? Does prayer really change things? Did you know tithing money is NOT taught in the Bible? Does your church consider the three "E's" to be worship? What is Oprah's greatest aha! moment? What does that have to do with a book like this? Struggling to know God's will? Maybe it's none of our business! How can God be sovereign in all things and man have "free will" at the same time? Is Hell a place of final destruction or a place of unending torture? (For most-this is a great relief to learn) Did you know that the concept of man having an eternal soul comes from Greek philosophers and NOT the Bible? (Eternal life is a gift from God-not our default setting) Have you ever realized the difference between edifying others and witnessing? One leads to fear and frustration, the other gives glory to God! Are your answers Bible based? (or what you've heard all your life) - If Jesus has won your heart - has He won your mind"?

About the Author

After growing up a Baptist in Dallas and attending various Bible churches since my marriage in 1973, our youngest child, Colson, was killed in a tornado in 2006. Much of the impetus for this book is the result of what God has brought me through, and shown me after his death.
