Why?: Answers to Weather the Storms of Life

I have recommended this book to all my friends and given as gifts. Whether you or someone you love has cancer, this book will give support and inspiration to face it.

Easy read, but the book inspired me in a way that I am eagerly waiting to see how God will use my trial. I bought four more copies to give as gifts.

Tested in the furnace of suffering, Vernon Brewer shares piercing insights into why God allows pain, suffering, and testing, in the lives of Christians. These experiences are sometimes designed to test what we really believe. In his book "Why? Answers to Weather the Storms of Life," Vernon shares from his personal experience how he met these challenges head-on. Brewer is a cancer survivor. He shares how he faced the many trials and tests, both physical and spiritual in his own time of testing. I appreciated Vernon's openness,frankness, and his vulnerability as he told of defeats and victories in these intense battles. He compares his struggle with cancer to the "storms of lfe" we all face, financial, family crisis, broken relationships, and loneliness. His writing is filled with promise, encouragement, and specific life lessons he learned through his personal "battle" with cancer. Vernon shares how he "experienced" the act of reaching out in genuine compassion. His message is global in perspective. Brewer relates how the World Help organizatin (an Iternational mission's agency) developed as a result his having cancer. I was deeply moved as I grasped, again, the scope of the message of God's faithfulness, His love, and of the unique purpose of God for my life. I am trusting God afresh for answers to the Why? How? And what's going to happen to me? "Why?" is a book for everyone facing these questions, looking for hope, while working through, pain, suffering, and disappointment. This is an amazing testimony of finding "Triumph through Tragedy."

This is a wonderful book. I have enjoyed reading it. It shows how the Lord works in marvelous ways and makes of us what He wants.
