Summary

Is God currently curing cancers, saving select people in auto accidents, providing supernatural peace and strength to certain favored people through requesting prayer? If so, how are we to reconcile that with other God-loving believers whose unselfish prayers never seem to be answered affirmatively? Are we to simply accept that God's ways are higher than our ways, and he's picking and choosing who receives special favor and those who don't, because it's all part of his preordained plans? Or is God simply allowing this world to run its course through the random chaotic events that occur naturally? This book is for all Christians who have ever felt abandoned by God because he seems indifferent to their needs and never answers their prayers. It's for those who are considering, or have already left the faith and even those outside the Christian faith. It's for anyone who struggles with portions of the Bible and current miracle claims made by others that do not meet with their reality. But, it's mostly a cautionary read for all Christians who publicly claim God specifically favors / blesses them and the collateral damages resulting from those claims. Join me on this reality based journey to live a full and abundant hope and gratitude filled life where God's grace supersedes the need for miracles. I can assure you, there's more than one effective way to be a follower of Jesus.
