Everything Happens for a Reason

In an attempt to give meaning to what appears to be inexplicable circumstances in life, many people say, “Well, everything happens for a reason, you know.” The truth of the matter is that everything does happen for a reason!

In this book, Bishop Butler explores the truths found in the Parable of the Sower, uncovering the secrets God has hidden for you, including the following:

1. • What God does, how He does it and why
2. • What Satan does, how he does it and why
3. • What you should do and why

These truths will give you tools for avoiding self-inflicted wounds and strategies to use to deflect the five tools Satan uses — affliction, persecution, the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things — to try and keep the Word from becoming deeply planted in your life.

You can live a lifestyle that pleases God! The Word gives you an answer to overcoming every problem you face in life! You can live a life of victory!
