Bad things happen , god makes lets it happen , because as you prune a tree to help it grow so does god do with us. Putting us under pressure to instigate change in us and how we view HIM. I had a hard time trying to read this book because it woudl alternate between teh clinical state of being written and the dramatic recreation of potent memories. I would grow tired of droll repitition then be sparked with just enough drama to keep me moving through the book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that this book is not so much about biblical standard as understanding the relationship between god and man and how he prunes and repairs us. I would and have recommended this book to those on their journey to understanding god and trying to understand the dramatic pain and loss that they have felt in their lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its a fairly good book and well worth its weight. WHich is something I value. It may not be at the top of the list but it made the list.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6928288629229326688-5328001309169166092?l=momlaunchpad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://momlaunchpad.blogspot.com/feeds/5328001309169166092/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://momlaunchpad.blogspot.com/2010/03/where-is-god-by-dr-john-townsend-review.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6928288629229326688/posts/default/5328001309169166092'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6928288629229326688/posts/default/5328001309169166092'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://momlaunchpad.blogspot.com/2010/03/where-is-god-by-dr-john-townsend-review.html' title='Where is God By Dr. John Townsend (Review)'/><author><name>underthegypsytree(at)gmail.com</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02785224781398354669</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0inofO_oTyI/S4RquofA4VI/AAAAAAAAAM8/mXPOiOG1L6g/S220/Picture+6.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
