The Endeavor of Life and the Wisdom of God Roman Dawes

Despite all our prayers, a little boy stricken with cancer died recently. Why would God allow it to happen if He is almighty and "Jesus loves the little children?"Unbelievers point to such tragedies as evidence that there can be no good God. But their logic is too small to grasp the Almighty's design. God does not save all lives because life is meant to be the object of an essential and defining human endeavor, not an entitlement. And what do humans get from that endeavor? Everything, including all our knowledge and the ability to commune with the divine. It all arises from our compulsion to nurture human life. If God saved the lives or attended to the health of all children, the world would be a lesser place. The Endeavor of Life and the Wisdom of God addresses the problem of evil like no philosopher or theologian I've come across. It offers a logical path to resolution for a riddle of faith that predates the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. My book invites the reader to take a "God's eye view" of humankind across cultures and throughout time to behold a divine order in which people must survive and nurture life as mortals and in which God must nevertheless make His presence known.
