Summary

On September 11th 2001, many people's faith suffered a grievous blow, as devastating as the atrocities that they witnessed unfolding. Still reeling from the shock of such a previously inconceivable act of evil, many are asking such questions as: How could God allow such a terrible thing to happen? Who is God? Is God as powerful as we thought? Johnston McKay's inspiring, uplifting and insightful reflections and interviews with those on the scene offer a way forward for people who need to make sense of what has happened. From the dust and ashes of a terrible day rise a glimmer of new mature faith and an understanding of the role of God in our lives. Looking at these events, the Lockerbie bombing and important turning points in our lives, he draws on the story of Easter from his own unique perspective to provide help for those seeking to make sense of what seems beyond sense.
