When this book arrived I started to read it and it was so detailed that I finished it before I left it down. The author spoke of the dark time during the death of his beloved wife. They married as teenagers and spent fifty three years together as missionerys they travelled across the world spreading their message of god love for all mankind. Together they saw they saw miracles whenever they went, now his wife had departed this life the faith of the author was tested. He moves through his grief writing about how gods love sustains him, at the hardest and worst points of his grief. This book is written from the grieving husband heart with the view to help others understand that god is with us in all situations just trust him

T.L. Osborn isn't that different from the rest of us after all.

This is an unusual book for T. L. Osborn. Having read his classics like "Soul Winning" and "Healing the Sick" it was a bit disorienting for me to read such an up-close, soul-searching account of T.L. Osborn asking the question of why God allowed his wife Daisy to pass away before her time. Read any other T.L. Osborn book and you'll see page after page recounting the faith-inspired miracles that God accomplished through T.L. and his wife Daisy's preaching around the world. None of that is present in this book, and that's a good thing in my opinion. It shows that even after a life time of supernatural ministry the man T.L. Osborn isn't really that much different than the rest of us after all. By allowing his readers a glimpse into his struggle with God, Osborn has done his reader's a tremendous service. He has humanized himself. In this manner, "Why?" stands in the same tradition of King David when he asked in the Psalms the same types of questions that Osborn raises in this book. Aaron D.
