Is God good? Some people think so. And some people think He is watching over them, ready to throw lightning bolts down on them when they do wrong. Some people think He is just too busy running the universe to be good to them. And some question whether He exists at all. The first two humans on the earth questioned God’s goodness as they listened to a snake pose the question, “Why would a good God keep that fruit from you?” And so, humanity to this day cycles through this thinking: Is there a God? What does He want from me? Is He Good?

This book is an examination of these questions through a story in the Bible that isn’t well known. A woman’s life is intersected by the holy man of the day as he passes by her door. She chooses to respond to his passing by opening the door and inviting him in. As she makes him feel at home, he wants to repay her with something miraculous, her heart’s desire of a son, but she is unable to believe him for it. Regardless of her lack of faith, he comes through on his promise and a year later her baby is born. All seems well until, as a young lad, her son falls ill and dies. What is her response? “Why would a good God let your son die?” is what the snake would probably say. What would you say?

If you are looking for answers or maybe you think you already know the answer, this story reveals the exciting truth about who God is and what His presence in a life will do. You won’t believe the ending and the amazing twist that reveals so much about God and the destiny He has planned for each one of us. When you are done, you will be able to answer this question for yourself: Is God Good? And that will only be the beginning of your story.
