Why does God allow Natural Disasters?
Absolutely amazing that in so many years as a Christian and even serving with a literature ministry, I had managed to not read any books by David Pawson until this one, quite recently. It reads like an essay (in fact it is based on a series of talks given on Revelation tv) and certainly makes me interested to try some of his others, perhaps his more controversial titles (such as Leadership is Male, Once saved always saved? and Is John 3:16 the Gospel?). Why? Because, although quite challenging throughout, DP is clear minded and has obviously thought through the question, which he addresses in a very logical manner. In fact, he would say that it is even the wrong question to ask, and every chapter heading (there are five altogether) is a question in itself! In times when “human rights” is a loud cry, Pawson brings us back to the fact that we depend on God for the very air we breathe second by second. Honest, uncompromising and thought provoking.

then people blame god
sometimes the answer to why ? is why not?
Pawson suffers from the billing as the ever conraversial David Pawson but he is a Bible teacher and Church Historian par excellence
| | | | Mike Orchard (Guest) | 09/01/2012 08:31 | Mick's right. David Pawson is an excellent communicator and Bible teacher, like everyone not always right but he drives you back to the Bible with his uncompromising approach.
