Where is God when tragedy and suffering strike?When the ground shakes, and a poor nation's economy is destroyed; when the waters rise, washing away a community's hopes and dreams; when a child suffers neglect and abuse; when violence tears apart nations; where is God; If God is all powerful, and if each one of us is a beloved child of God, then how can God allow tragedy and suffering to infest his creation?In Why?, best-selling author Adam Hamilton brings fresh insight to the age-old question of how to understand the will of God. Rejecting simplistic answers and unexamined assumptions, he lays out core ideas for comprehending God's plan for the world, including: God will not take away our free will, even when we use it to grieve him.God will never abandon us, especially in the midst of our suffering.While God is not the author of suffering, God will bring blessing out of tragedy.

Volume III: From a Woman's Perspective provides an opportunity for women to explain to men how to create strong, emotional bonds with them to form serious, committed relationships. The panel of women, and one man, discuss their lives and relationships, describe in unison what is needed to satisfy their emotional and physical needs, and shed light on how they maintain confidence in love despite some experiencing disappointment and heart break. LaTosha M. Duffey and William T. Hoston present the final installment of the Why "We" Didn't Choose You series. The previous books, Volume I: A Relationship Handbook for Women (and Men) and Volume II: Poetic Love, have each gained a large fan base of women (and men) around the world who like to read books that dissect the fundamental elements of love and relationships. Volume III: From a Woman's Perspective is the crowning piece in the series that gives women an opportunity to voice their opinions on love and relationships.

The goal of the reloaded edition of Why "We" Didn't Choose You, Vol. I is the same as I intended in the first edition, that hopefully it will help single, engaged, and married women better understand the complexities of relationships from a man's perspective. The rapport between men and women is arguably the most complicated to explain. If single women are reading this book, chances are they want to gain more information about why they weren't chosen for marriage in a past relationship, or why their current relationship is failing to lead to marriage. The panel of men provide practical information for these women to increase their self-awareness in relationships, expand their ability to better understand men, offer information on how to better handle conflict in relationships, and further show them how to develop an appreciation for the fundamental differences between men and women. If married women are reading this book, it provides insight on how to keep the barriers of trust, understanding, compromise, and lines of communication open to continue to experience happiness. In this reloaded edition, I have expanded the book with more advice, suggestions, and recommendations from men. This book takes women on an emotional journey of six ordinary men with an extraordinary perspective on the interaction between men and women. Readers get the opportunity to divulge into the minds of these men revealing their innermost thoughts and feelings. What really makes this book such a great read is the ability of these men to explore such talked about relationship issues in a way that has never been discussed. The candidness of the six men will make readers hate some, love others, but respect all. This must read book will definitely lead to thought-provoking conversations.

"WHY" derives from my life experiences where I have struggled. Things like the God concept, relationships, addiction, and things that cause me to suffer in life; always had me asking the question. "Why do I do these things that cause me to suffer?" After many years of counseling, group therapy, Bible studies, and a whole lot of reading; I have finally come up with some answers. Since I know that a lot of other people struggle with the same things, I figured that maybe I could help others realize that life can be a wonderful journey when one understands why many of us suffer for no good reason. Most of it comes from the way we fall victim to our own thought patterns, and the way we think about things. So this is the first book in the series to help one begin to open their minds and become self-aware of their own beliefs. I urge you to ask yourself, why do you think like you do, and is your own thinking stopping you from a life of satisfaction? No matter how bad you think your life to be, there is a brighter future in store for anyone who learns to ask themselves the question." Why do I believe something to be true?" Do I have all of the information? Does this go along with who I want to be? All these questions lead to self awareness. When one becomes self-aware they can use self forgiveness in order to reset the thought process into a positive form. Thoughts are a form of nonphysical energy the mind uses to create. It's all about the energy. The natural law of attraction is the very law which makes magnets attract to each other. If you've ever played with magnets you soon learn that to turn one of them around makes it repel the other magnet. When released, the magnet spins around and sticks to the other magnet. This law of attraction is what makes thoughts either positive or negative, attract more of the same. To become aware of this natural law of attraction, with free will we can hold positive thoughts against negative thoughts. This way of thinking requires practice and through this practice one manifests all that one receives. Natural law like gravity controls all the energy in the universe. All energy physical and nonphysical requires a positive and a negative in order to flow. If one can recognize this life energy as God then one has something physical to prove God. We are alive because of the life energy that is God which allow us to create our own little world. We are the God of our own little world only because, of the life energy that is God who lives and creates through us. God does not have to punish man because man punishes himself in the name of God. If not for self-inflicted wounds we would have no problems. We manifest all that happens to us through the power of thought. Thought that stimulates fear is very powerful so the things we worry about contain enough energy for the universe to make it happen. The law of attraction happens whether we're thinking about it or not. This is the very reason a person with an arachnophobia, when in the presence of a spider, finds that the spider will make a beeline right towards them. The universe presents to us what we think about, therefore giving us the chance to get over our fears. When we come to understand the workings of something we are afraid of. We learn how to deal with it, therefore knowing why we no longer need to fear it. This is knowledge. With knowledge comes power. Using this power of knowledge to flow with the universal-good; is what I term wisdom. The easiest way can be the hardest to learn. All energy seeks the path of least resistance. Though I believe all this information to be part of the natural instinct we are born with. I call it common sense; gets tainted when we fall for false beliefs. To change these false beliefs leads to personal freedom. The freedom to manifest all we want through the universal power that is God. To flow with the energy of the universe that doesn't harm the planet or people is satisfying and wise.
