How Can It Be All Right When Everything is All Wrong?

by Lewis B. Smedes

Book Overview

Faith does not break lose in my head with a whooping, 'Hurrah for God ' Believing sneaks into my soul while my head is saying, 'My God, where were you when I needed you?'

Lewis Smedes does not explain away pain or deny that things get bad and that life is hard. Instead he helps us move beyond a disheartening present by being open to God and the certainty that things are, somehow, fundamentally right.

Customer Reviews

Read everything Smedes has written ...

Lew has the ability to pack whole paragraphs into single sentences ... it's thoughful thinking and careful writing. Listen to the cadences of his voice on one of his tapes and your reading his material will come even more alive.

A great inspiration for all of us!

I am often left with a lack for the proper words when someone shares one of life's problems with me. This book has given me the words and the confidence to use them when one of these opportunities comes my way now.It has helped the lives of those I come into contact with as well as my own life.
