About this book
Not every hardship is a reminder, and no reader's suffering should be taken as punishment, but the Lord can make every one "work together for your good" (D&C 98:3).
Beside the teaching runs one imagined family's hard winter in Rexburg, Idaho, and the generations behind them. Their story is labeled as fiction.
From the back cover
A world without chance would be a world without agency, and a world without agency would be no world for children of God.
The world has gravity, ice, germs and the choices of imperfect people, and none of them checks a person's righteousness. The Lord could prevent every one, and sometimes does, but a world without them would be Eden again, a garden where no one could grow.
Drawing on the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price, this book follows the reminders scripture names: sickness and death, war, famine, pestilence, storm and humbling loss. It answers the hard questions honestly: why bad things happen to good people, what we inherit from those before us, and why some things happen for no reason we can name.
Woven through every chapter is one family's hard winter in Rexburg, Idaho, and the generations behind them, told by two imagined witnesses on either side of the veil, and the mercy the Lord sets beside every hard thing.
