In difficult times, many people turn to religion and spirituality for comfort, understanding, and meaning. But sometimes those belief systems seem ill-equipped to handle the intensity of human pain and suffering. Where does one find comfort when danger seems so pervasive, when disease, death, and injury strike with such randomness? When God’s power seems so limited, even withheld? When Prayers Aren’t Answered faces those tough questions head-on and offers help breaking through the pain and anguish. Author John Welshons doesn’t shrink from life’s most challenging experiences; instead, he teaches readers to accept their trials with honesty, love, and equanimity. Drawing insights from all of the world’s great religious and spiritual traditions, he shows how to use one's pain as fuel for a spiritual journey. An included step-by-step program gives readers tips on integrating these new perspectives into daily life.
