Why Do I Still Hurt?

Several months ago we treated our readers to a chapter of Tom Williams new book, From Eden to Eternity, a book which has as its roots Tom’s desire to distill the complex concepts of the Christian faith into statements his teenage daughters could grasp. That chapter was greeted by our readers with appreciation and enthusiasm. We are very pleased this month to be able to share another excerpt from Tom’s fine book.

Again, we are grateful to Tom and to College Press for allowing us this opportunity. For over two decades Tom invested his considerable art and layout skills as Art Editor for The Appeal. As our readers know, Tom’s ability to paint word pictures is another art which he has honed into excellence.

We pray that you will receive a blessing this month as with clarity and candor, Tom deals capably with a subject that challenges us all. If God is good, if God is loving, if God is all-powerful, why do I still hurt?
