Why do bad things happen to good people? is a question asked by Christians and non-Christians alike all around the world. Can answers be found for this profound question?

Gary V. Johnson, the author of Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People? takes a bold head-on look at some of the areas that many preachers shy away from. He tackles difficult subjects such as: Who causes death?; How long should a Christian expect to live?; and “Who is responsible in the early death of a child?

In the Introduction, the author admits he does not have all the answers. He shares what he’s learned from God’s Word concerning His will, in an attempt to answer the difficult questions asked such as, Is God to blame? when a sudden tragedy occurs.

He openly states his book is not meant to bring comfort to those who have undergone a tragedy, nor put blame or shame on anyone. Readers are reminded; when bad things happen, the world tries to put shame or blame on you. God is all about getting shame off of you.

Have you ever wondered, What does God permit and why? This question and many other thought-provoking ones are adressed in the book. Readers may discover what they thought or believed is opposite to what God’s Word says. The book is filled with scriptures that enable the reader to seek these verses out for themselves.

The chapter Family Responsibility covers what is the role of the husband, wife, father and mother in the household. What the Bible teaches on discipling children. Marriage and parenthood have challenges, but God’s Word shows the way to have success, which is what the author strives to do.

The whole book is aimed to help readers understand why bad things happen to good people, so they can be avoided. A great reason to purchase the book and read it youself.
