Summary

“Sooner or later, just like the rest of us, you’ll ask The Question:
‘Why, God? Why did You let this happen?’”

Bob Russell has seen it all—tragedy in his childhood church, broken families in his pastoral ministry, a world torn by war and injustice—the list goes on. It all begs the question: Why?

But Bob thinks we should be asking a different question: Who?Who is God, and what is He doing as our hearts are hurting?

With compassion and wisdom, Bob Russell turns your Why? question into the Who? question, leading you to the God who can be trusted no matter what.
