Book Promotion - Why Does God Let It Happen?
The question is as old as time and haunts the headlines every day. Why must good people suffer? How do we reconcile a loving God, in control of His universe, with all the tragedy in the world?
Bruce Henderson’s new book, Why Does God Let It Happen?, answers these crossroads-of-faith questions from the teachings of the Writings. The book is written in everyday language for people new to our teachings. It is published by the Swedenborg Foundation’s Chrysalis Books, as was Bruce’s earlier book on life after death, Window to Eternity, which is also being re-published by the Foundation.
The book has been praised by Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of the best-seller, When Bad Things Happen to Good People, as “The best consideration of God’s role in tragedy from a traditional perspective that I have ever read.”
It is available at the Cathedral Bookroom, www.store.newchurch.org, from the Swedenborg Foundation, www.swedenborg.org, plus www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com. A book-signing event is planned for June 22 at Cairnwood.
