Description:What would people you know say if your child was diagnosed with cancer? That it happened for a reason? That is was part of some divine plan? That it was a test of your faith? Or that it simply was dumb, blind, bad luck? Would they pray for a cure? Would they believe that their prayers could affect the outcome?What do you believe, and why?Based on author Brent Nelson’s own experiences, Will of a Random God is the story of Bill Bracewell, a successful Atlanta attorney who thinks he has it all. Or, does he? When his son Will is diagnosed with leukemia, Bill grows increasingly resentful as this crisis reveals and widens the cracks in his own life and marriage – until, ultimately, Will teaches him the true meaning and purpose of living in a random, and sometimes frightening, world. Will of a Random God is a companion piece, and sequel, to the authors’ Grace of a Different God, which similarly is based on author Judith Nelson’s real life story of her escape from a reclusive, fundamentalist family, and her struggles to build an ethic and worldview she could accept and embrace. Together, these novels explore two growing trends within Christianity – the sometimes exclusionary, rule-oriented theology of fundamentalism, and the often self-focused, personal-savior approach of modern evangelicalism – and ask: Do these movements hold the answers to man’s age old questions regarding the meaning of life? Or, do they distract us from what really matters? Authors’ note: These novels contain adult content, including coarse language, and are intended for mature audiences. Far from being mainstream “Christian fiction,” they are critical of fundamentalist and evangelical viewpoints, and are written to appeal to both religious and secular audiences interested in exploring and discussing, with an open mind, such themes as: Why are we here? Is there meaning in the simple act of living? Why do bad things happen to good people, and vice versa? Is there a sentient sense of justice and order – a “God” – at work in our universe? And, if so, what the heck is he/she up to?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
