Angry With God

When his daughter's husband was stricken with cancer, Scott R. Frazer could not answer her anguished question: why would God do this? Angry with God is his years-long attempt at a better answer. Drawing on scripture, science, and history, Frazer proposes seven 'rules of earth life' that even God must honor—rules that explain natural disasters, disease, death, and unanswered prayer. Rather than platitudes, he offers a framework meant to free believers from blaming a loving Heavenly Father for suffering He did not cause.

• Answers the question every grieving believer asks: 'Why would God do this to me?'—and says the honest answer is that He didn't.
• A bold, provocative thesis for LDS readers: God is NOT all-powerful in the way you were taught—and that changes everything about blame.
• Written by a scientist who weaves genetics, geology, and statistics together with scripture.
• Born from a real father's helplessness watching his daughter's husband battle cancer.

“To all parents who have lost a child, let me assure you that it was never God's will that such a thing should happen. God joins you in your grief. He did not cause it.”

Perfect for a faithful Latter-day Saint who has suffered a loss or trial and quietly wonders why God let it happen, or who wants a framework to comfort someone who is angry with God.
