After experiencing a host of family tragedies, author Wally Long found himself asking: “Why me, Lord? Why have you allowed all of this tragedy to take place in my family?” He searched the scriptures for answers, and God gave him a sermon. It was a sermon he needed. It was a sermon born of deep grief and suffering. That sermon serves as the foundation for this book, Why Me, Lord?, Wally prays the lessons he learned through his tragedies will be a blessing. Neither a Bible study nor how-to book, he offers a host of Biblical principles meant to encourage you while you’re going through difficult times and trials in your life. In Why Me, Lord?, Wally presents general thoughts about trials, afflictions, and suffering; addresses what causes suffering; and discusses the purpose of suffering. He shares the message that regardless of the cause of your challenges, God can and will use your suffering, giving you a purpose to it. He’ll use your sufferings to show himself strong in you, strengthen you, purify you, steer you back on course, reveal your character, accomplish his plans, and prepare you for his glory.

This book offers a reasonable understanding of John’s revelation letter to the seven churches of Asia, a letter that is not like the rest of the Bible and is difficult to understand. John’s revelation letter describes a terrible spiritual war that was fought between God and Satan--a war that was caused by a simple statement Jesus made (Matthew 16:18) when he said he would build his church and nothing could stop it. But Satan knew in order to fulfill his own purpose, which was to control the world himself, he must kill the church or it would be the end of him. There is a parallel view of that spiritual war, however. It was also fought as a carnal war between the first-century church and the Roman Empire. John wrote about the spiritual forces of God as they battled against the evil spiritual forces of the devil and his angels. The carnal war that those spiritual forces caused, the war between the church and the Roman Empire, was described by Edward Gibbon (1737–1794) in his history of the decline and fall of Rome. Gibbon only wrote history, and he did not consider his writings to be a description of anything that was going on in God’s kingdom, but the writings of both John and Gibbon describe the extreme price first-century Christians had to pay to be faithful to God and to continue on establishing his church throughout the world. This book compares the things that John saw take place in the spiritual world--the cause--with something that was quite like it, but happened in this physical world between Rome and the church--the effect, which was described by Gibbon in his history.

Many people don't realize that except for the grace of God, they would not have the many blessings they enjoy. In Why Me, Lord: so blessed but unearned, author Twyla Wallace addresses how so many events in her life have molded her to understand that they didn't occur without a special purpose that God had for her. She knows how prayer has played such a necessary role and she shares Scripture readings so that others may be guided to seek help and learn how God's grace makes it possible for all to receive blessings they know are unearned too. In Why Me, Lord: so blessed but unearned she makes us aware that God showers blessings on us not because we're exceptionally good and obedient, but because He loves us and is always there for us.

The taking of a life at such a young age would mean to the world that perhaps God was not paying attention on that fateful November day and might have been asleep at the switch. But as you shall see on the following pages God was and is in control. From calling Amelia home to helping a grieving father crawl his way to sobriety and salvation God knew exactly what He was doing. God took Amelias father George on a path none of us would care to travel but a path George had to travel to become the loving, forgiving Christian that he is today.

"On the hottest day of July, 1974, eleven of us were ordained as the first women priests in the Episcopal Church. We were setting in motion a new feminist reformation which would change forever the way church and society viewed and treated women—or so we thought.'"—from the Preface Reverend Betty Bone Schiess' engagingly written memoir is a valuable contribution to the scholarship of religious study as well as to feminist study and to legal scholarship, particularly on equal rights issues. Schiess draws parallels throughout her work to earlier efforts of the suffragettes and abolitionists of Seneca Falls.

As a believer in God are you prepared for suffering and grief that will come your way? After the death of my beloved wife in 2018, I started searching for resources to provide some guidance on how to cope with the intense grief that comes with being a widower at a fairly young age. To my surprise, I found very few publications directed at helping widowers deal with the suffering of losing their spouse and almost nothing from a Christian perspective on the topic. In the months following my wife's passing, I absorbed as much information on grieving and suffering as I could find. I read about grief and attended grief sharing sessions at my local church. But I kept questioning why these things happened to my family and why prayers were not heard. I realized that the church as a whole does not do a very good job in preparing the flock for grief and suffering which inevitably will come our way at some point in our lives. During this period of confusion, doubt and crying out for answers, God responded to my protests and ultimately provided comfort as only he can. Why Me Lord?! Suffering Widower was written to offer witness to God's unwavering grace and to look into the insights regarding suffering from the Bible, primarily the book of Job.
