<DIV><P> "Why God? Why did you let this happen? Why do you allow so much pain?" Be it a job loss, illness, or loss of a spouse or child, these are questions we've all had. It's as much a cry as a question; a wound; a shout of betrayal of all the rules of life and fairness as you knew them.</P><P> </P><P>Bob Russell offers no trite platitudes to answer the questions in <I>Acts of God</I>, the accompaniment book to the Acts of God videos and curriculum. Instead, through the biblical story of Joseph, he provides assurance that we are in a bigger story than the pain, suffering, and trials tell us we're in.</p><P> </P><P>Whether you're in the middle of suffering, processing something from your past, or seeking answers to the suffering you see around you, <I>Acts of God</I> shows a way back to hope; hope in God that brings hope to our circumstances.</P><P> </P></div>
