Shining Light into the Darkness: Finding God's Purposes and Hope When Life's Events Make No Sense

By Mark Barrett

Many times in life, the unexpected happens to us, or to someone else, and many times it is a tragic incident. In 2017 our youngest son took his own life. It was unexpected. It was a complete surprise. To us, he seemed to be living a full, God-honoring life. How do you explain such a tragedy? How do you explain that unexpected tragedy in your life? There is a reason for that, which is explained in the Bible. This book will help you make sense out of things, which ordinarily, in your human understanding, makes no sense. Using the Bible as our guide, we will pull back the curtain of the unexpected and find not only answers, but hope that will help you to cope with your shock and grief. This book contains answers to questions I was asking after our son’s death, answers that can only be explained by and found in God’s Word.
