I‘ve been there too.</strong> </p> <p class="has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color">Out of all the things I have written, the one read by the most people and translated into the most languages is an 8-page booklet entitled “Why Do Bad Things Happen?” I wrote some of it in a hospital waiting room while my wife was undergoing surgery for cancer. Sometimes I’ve buckled under the weight of life’s troubles. I’ve wrestled with God and questioned His faithfulness.</p> <span id="more-1066"></span> <p>Yet, I wrote this booklet, because the Lord has taught me to keep on trusting Him—even in the dark. Why do I trust Him? Because the Bible gives compelling answers to <strong>three questions that everyone asks:</strong> </p> <ol class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Why</strong> do pain and suffering exist?</li><li><strong>What benefit</strong> can possibly come from my troubles?</li><li><strong>What has God done</strong> to deal with the evil and pain in this world? </li></ol> <p>May “Why Do Bad Things Happen?” give you a new perspective of hope, determination, and joy. Or share it with a friend who is struggling. <strong><a href="https://www.lhm.org/projectconnect/booklets.asp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">Click here for a free PDF copy</a></strong>, and enter “why do bad” in the Search box. </p> </body>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.philbickel.com/why-bad/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">1066</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss>
