"Because while belief is the consent of the mind and faith is a choice of the will, trust is a commitment of the heart." Pg 118.
A close friend purchased this book for me as a gift after the passing of my father a few weeks ago. It was really odd because this person and I had been best friends through high school and our mid 20's but slowly grew apart. About two months ago her husband stopped by out of the blue, to say hi, and the following day "my birthday" she called to wish me a happy birthday...more

I understand that a turkey and an eagle react differently to the threat of the storm. A turkey reacts by running under the barn, hoping the storm won't come near.
On the other hand, an eagle leaves the security of its nest and spreads its wings to ride the air currents of the approaching storm, knowing they will carry it higher in the sky than it could sour on its own.

Anne did a great job in explaining how we can trust God even when we don't know why. We can't always understand why bad things happen, but we can trust in God's grander plan and goodness. This is a very short book, but fill with wisdom and personal experience about how God is working despite our hardest struggles and pains. She uses the story of Lazarus' death in the gospel of John, explaining why Jesus waited 4 days to come and his comfort for his children.

those finding themselves asking why?
This is a book that you hang onto and read again and again. During times of challenges, doubts and struggles it points you back to God, his soverignity and promises.
such an incredible book for LIFE! it's wonderful...and really a tool and a method to look to Christ for answers and understanding.
Only takes a few hours to read this short, sweet book about the story of Lazarus, applied to our question of, why? Loved it.
very inspirational at a time when i was constantly asking why me and feeling sorry for myself and so very sad.
Haven't finished this little book yet but so far it is offering me solace in a time of hurt and betrayal. i am thankful God is helping me through this tough time!
Anne takes the story of Mary, Martha and LAzarus and turns it into a 100 pages of amazing truth.
Short but very helpful when you are struggling with why bad things happen to you.
Great small book you can read quickly. I highly recommend it!
If you or a loved one have ever experienced a loss, read this book.

I found it at the bookstore while browsing.
I was truly inspired, motivated and I hope changed by this book. I never even thought of the way she interpreted this part of the Bible. It gave me a sense of calmness and hopefulness. It is the story of Mary, Martha and Lazarus.
