Book: Why Can’t We Trust God?

Author: Thomas Wise

Genre: Non-Fiction/Personal Growth

Release Date: January 17, 2020

So you think God turned his back on us?

Why else would this world be so miserable?

While this world is spinning out of control, we are left with the tough questions:

Why is this happening to me?

Why won’t God stop this?

Why am I in pain?

Why did my child die?

Why do they hate me?

WHY CAN’T WE TRUST GOD?

Well, at the time my wife and I were suffering financially due to her loss of a good job. We wondered how we would pay our bills but chose to continue to trust in God as we paid our tithe and held our breath, hoping my income would cover our bills each month. We prayed for relief but never expected the answer would include the total destruction of everything we owned. The tornado crashed through the town, causing death and destruction to everything in its path.

After the grief subsided at the loss of life suffered by our neighbors, we came to realize that we also lost all of our debts and the decay of the older home we owned. We received so much more than we lost.

My Thoughts on Why Can’t We Trust God?:

I think this book read well.  There are definitely aspects of it that I might not agree with but the author presented his argument well and in an informed way.  I do appreciate that it is based on scripture and does use scripture to back things up.

Not everything is something that I agree with but I do think this is an important topic.  It’s so easy to fall into the why is God doing this to my mindset of thinking we’re being picked on.  That if God wanted to he could just twitch an eye and make it all better.

The biggest take away is that God is all-powerful and he knows more than we do.  In the end, maybe what happens is worth it and better for us.

More from Tom

“Why Can’t We Trust God?” reflects my struggle with the purpose of suffering. I identify with Jacob, wrestling with God, holding on to my pain and anger, determined to find God’s blessing in compensation for a life that didn’t seem to meet my expectations. I dug my feet in, refusing to be moved, and I was determined to find some confirmation of why life hurts, why I suffer from failure, health, setbacks, and the meaning of life.

“Why Can’t We Trust God?” published by Zion Press, a CrossLink Publishing imprint, describes my exploration of the word WHY in relation to God’s more excellent plan for life on earth.

Why did I write the book, “Why Can’t We Trust God?” Because we need answers.
