{"product_id":"2940158586316","title":"Is God Real and Does It Even Matter?","description":"Do any of these questions sound familiar? • While the advancements in science and technology are accomplishing so much good, why is our behavior toward one another getting worse? • Why is honesty rarely celebrated anymore while dishonesty can get a person both fame and promotion? • Why does wealth come so easily to some people while others who work as hard or harder always struggle to make ends meet? • Why are some people free of addictions--even the temptation--while others always seem to be living in some sort of bondage? When we begin to verbalize the 'Why?' questions of life, more often than not it is a reflection of a more basic question, \"Why me?\" When life gets difficult, when unforeseen adversity throws us off course and calamity and\/or chaos ensues, our inclination is to take on an apathetic, sarcastic, or even a destructive attitude toward our existence and the purpose of life itself. To counter this impulse, one must be willing to consider questions such as these in a completely different light. Author and teacher, Rick Furmanek believes all life's moments, both good and bad, happen for a purpose and should drive us back to the most fundamental of questions . . . Is anyone in control? In an effort to counter the current cultural mindset, Rick offers a reality check on life, knowing that the pursuit of answers to the \"Why me?\" questions can only be properly understood through the story God wants to tell us.","brand":"Light Chaser Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150279786736,"sku":"2940158586316","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158586316_p0.jpg?v=1764115198","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158586316","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
