More Info

The idea for this book originated in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. My wife, Lowry, and I were vacationing when we met a charming European couple. We were poolside under the palm trees when the conversation turned to spiritual matters. The gentleman, I believe his name was Peter, informed me that he didn't believe in God. How could so much evil exist in the world if there was a God? I was considering my reply when we both heard a small child laughing and giggling in the pool. We both smiled, and I started looking around. We were sitting under a palm tree, watching the ocean, enjoying each other's company. It occurred to me that if we are going to blame God for the bad things of this world, we have to give Him credit for the good. I believe that God intervened with my response to that gentleman. I'm certainly not wise enough to come up with that response on my own. It made me reflect on my own life. I was not living the kind of life that honors God at that time. God patiently teaches us. He also forgives guys like me who had fallen away. The Lord drew me back to Him. He also led me to a pastor and church that have helped me grow into my ministry and calling. I pray this little book will help us all recognize that God loves us, even in a fallen world. This fallen world still has sunsets, children laughing, and smiles from strangers. These are all good things that God uses to remind us that He is still around. He still loves all of humanity. He has proven that love to us through His son, Jesus Christ.
