Why Bad Things Happen in Your Game of Life

This book was inspired after the author’s youngest son repeatedly received questions about why bad things happened to good people, and he wanted a better answer for them. While he was in an Air Force tech school, he began to reply, “Life is a game, and the name of the game is – Surprise!” He quickly found that most people do not want a long answer about this question, and their eyes glaze over when the explanations start. After those detailed reasons are explained here, it should be easier for you to find a shorter answer to the problems you see as they happen to come your way.

This book is intended to give you the tools to figure out why things go wrong in your life and then point you to solutions that can reverse the trends you experience. It’s impossible to squeeze huge amounts of help into a few pages, so a resource appendices section will provide additional information with practical details for your complete success.

Life’s issues are rooted in spiritual sources connecting the spirit realm to our situations in life. Bible references cite the source material for the points that are explained. If you prefer a nonreligious approach, it will leave out the spiritual dimension that drives the causes of life’s problems. If you are convinced there is no spiritual factor in our lives, your answers will never reach deeper than the surface psychological level.

Everybody has an opinion and may assume that they have figured out how life works, or else their church, temple or other philosophical source would have already told them differently. For you who are looking for answers, this book is for you.
