Good read for people who question whether God cares when tragic things happen to them. ( )
  jmcdbooks | Oct 23, 2020 |
An immensely practical book for those who are struggling with trials and heartaches they can't understand.

This book deals unflinchingly with life’s most troubling question—“Why?” Drawing on his long experience as a Christian psychologist and family counselor, Dr. Dobson brings hope to those who have almost given up. When God Doesn’t Make Sense also helps believers avoid the “betrayal barrier”—the sense that God is abandoning them amid the storms of life.

Why do innocent children suffer? Why are some couples infertile? Why would God do this to me? Hold onto your faith when the pieces won't fit, says Dobson.
