Faith : The Abyss We All Face

“Why is God killing my child?”

The Russian mother asked as she looked into my eyes. I didn’t know what to say. Another mother asked, “Why does God allow innocent babies to suffer and die?”

My heart broke as I listened to these mothers sobbing.

“FAITH: The Abyss We All Face” is a true story of one man’s journey to the literal “Ends of the Earth” where time after time, he heard these and similar questions.

Dr. Bill Becknell has wrestled with the tragic cries of brokenness, pain and suffering in himself and others. They are everywhere, and they challenge our faith. There are no cliches or trite answers to these difficult questions. But despite extreme hardships, pain, brokenness, sacrifices, miracles and even near-death experiences along this road, he found an unexpected treasure… JOY!

No matter how difficult the circumstances, the pain, and the brokenness, God has an unfailing Love that is beyond comprehension.

Brokenness and sorrow are a part of living, and no one can change that. What we do about tragedy in our lives is an issue of faith. “FAITH” is written to encourage all believers not to be afraid to step out into the unknown “abyss of faith.” Non-Believers may also find the stories apply to their lives, because “faith” is something everyone has.

There is no greater JOY than following Jesus, even if He leads you to the “Ends of the Earth.”
