About this audiobook
During the tumultuous era of World War II, the city of London shattered under unrelenting bombs dropped by Nazi Germany. Millions of buildings were destroyed or damaged, tens of thousands of civilians were killed, and survivors were left to ask: How can this destruction be part of God's plan? What is God's will in all of this?
After City Temple in London was reduced to rubble, Rev. Leslie Weatherhead crafted five sermons on understanding the will of God to help his congregation endure religious doubt as their city-and church-crumbled around them. Weatherhead's sermons were eventually published as The Will of God, a resource that has sold more than a million copies and has been a lifeline for grieving persons seeking to understand God's purpose for their pain. This revised edition of the classic book includes background information on the historical setting that inspired this book, and a new cover to refresh a timeless message-both for new audiences and returning fans.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Rated: C-Purposes 3 wills of God: Intentional, Circumstantial, Ultimate & uses as basis Christ death as God's will for people to follow Christ, will for him to die as good out of evil, will of redemption. Weak premise.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a good book that I would recommend to anyone striving to answer the question "Why do bad things happen to good people"? I was really struck by the significance of this book - which is actually a compilation of sermons - given the context in which they originated - the 1930's. Undoubtedly, Weatherhead's congregation was dealing with the reality of a brutal war on a daily basis. However, there were some parts of the book that I have issue with. Weatherhead uses "real world" examples to illustrate and support his opinion, but he goes an extra step relating his opinion to the life of Christ that is not supported with scripture and, in fact, seems to contradict old testament prophesy. Had he not gone that extra step, I really don't think I would have had much issue with this book.Linguistically, I like the distinction made here between the "will" of God and the "intention" of God as well. It was a good out-of-the-box thinking exercise to break the "will" of God into the intentional, circumstantial and ultimate "wills" of God.
