 By Page 39 I knew... June 26, 2008
this book is a significant help in my counseling of women. Women are very emotionally scarred by events in their lives they do not understand. I have read many, many books on psychology and a few on sociology and this one stands well above the rest with wisdom and insight. Dr. Dobson's love for the hurting people, both men and women, pours out from page after page. This is a book to buy two of, there is always someone who will need it's spectacular grasp of hope. I encourage you to buy two and keep loaning one out for those in need, and there will most definitely be a time when you need your copy.

I absolutely loved this book and it opened my eyes to so many truths. I
would recommend it to anyone going through a difficult time and wondering
why God allowed things to happen in their life that He could have stopped.

Whether going through the loss of a job, loved one, divorce, or any other difficult situation, Dobson encourages the reader to keep trusting in God and His goodness when trials come.
The book's chapters are as follows:
1. When God Doesn't Make Sense
2. The Betrayal Barrier
3. God Makes Sense Even When He Doesn't Make Sense
4. Acceptance or Despair
5. He Will Deliver Us, but If Not
6. Questions and Answers
7. The Adversity Principle
8. Faith Must Be Tough
9. The Wages of Sin
10. More Questions and Answers
11. Beyond the Betrayal Barrier
While Dobson does mention that some of our hardships result from our bad choices, he is also quick to add that some of life's trials happen to us because that's just the way life is!
A great encouragement to anyone who is going through difficult struggles and also to help prepare someone before they do go through struggles.
Recommended.
When God Doesn't Make Sense January 11, 2007
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
A friend from church gave me this book as my husband and I were stuggling with heartache and trials as as we were trying to keep our faith and understand why our son was in the hospital dying as a result of a head on collision which was caused by a drunken driver. Our faith is what kept us going each day and prayers. This book is one I will read again and again. Dr Dobson brought hope to us through this book. I purchased two copies of this and gave them to friends who were also dealing with loved ones that had been in automobile accidents. I personally took one day at a time as it was so much to face each day and and still do as I see our son continue to struggle after almost a year. God is good and He is faithful and I will continue to put my trust in Him as the book tells one....God has plans and purposes for our lives only we are not privy to them.
