About this ebook
There is an age-old question Christians continue to ask and be asked by nonbelievers: Why does God “let” bad things happen? In the Bible, God never promises us a life free of turmoil and sadness. What He does promise is that He’ll be with us in all our circumstances.
Based on a personal experience and John 14:27: “Peace be with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
