Why does God allow evil?

If God is all good, why does He allow evil?

Why do even those who devote their lives to pleasing Him meet with setbacks and disasters?

Why should you keep trusting God -- even when it all seems to go wrong?

*     *     * 

For centuries these questions have vexed souls, often leading well-meaning Christians down the path of unbelief.

In Why Bad Things Happen to Good Catholics, Fr. Henri Morice banishes the idea that events unfold according to blind chance -- or that evil ultimately triumphs in this world.

This book dispels some of the mystery surrounding human suffering to reveal how God draws goodness -- for your own soul and for the souls of others -- out of even the worst tragedies you suffer.

You will also discover how to recognize God's love working in all the events of your life, day by day, moment by moment. Fr. Morice also explains how to...

* Trust in God's Providence and receive peace more lasting than any worldly satisfaction;

* Set aside -- forever! -- worry about the future;

* Deal with misfortune even when you've hit rock bottom;

* Develop a full and lasting confidence in God.

Why Bad Things Happen to Good Catholics will charge you with renewed gratitude for the mysterious but unflagging love of God.

St. John of Avila -- recently named the newest Doctor of the Church -- teaches you many lessons, including:

* The life-giving habits of an authentic Christian life, which are found not through false "conversions" and "visions," but in the slow and steady steps on the path of holiness.

* How suffering is frequently the means God chooses to reveal to His mercy and His design for our lives.

* True beauty: for a Christians it will shine out in poverty, chastity, and fidelity, not in the luxuries and comforts of this world.

* The easy graces of the liturgical year: one of the surest ways to develop in sanctity, and how Christians should ready themselves for the gifts which the Holy Spirit will send.

* The dangers of personal resolutions: These are often built upon pride and mistaken notions, but God sends us every day trials to transform us into His spiritual champions.

* How a Christian should prepare himself for Holy Mass, how to approach the Blessed Sacrament, and what real participation in the Sacrifice means.

* That weakness, persecution, and infidelity are often found within the institutional Church, and what we can do to combat it or at least suffer it faithfully.
