Like the eternal nature of ocean tides, the question, Why?, always comes back. There seem to be as many reasons to ask why as there are grains of sand on the beach. And yet, lide the tide, God brings the answers and washed our questions away. -Why do the righteous, who have committed their entire lives to obeying God, seem to endure so much pain and conflict? -Why do Christians often suffer while unbelievers seem to reap the blessing of life? -Why do bad things happen to good people? -Why are the anointed persecuted? -Why does the vision tarry? These perplexing questions have bewildered Christians for ages. In this anointed and inspirational book, Bishop T. D. Jakes, the preacher with the velvet touch, provocatively and skillfully answers these questions and many more.
