Coming To Terms With Life's Raw Deals
BOOK (192 pages) ABOUT DEALING WITH PAIN AND SUFFERING:
So, What Did You Expect?
Sometimes life isn't fair, but we expect it to be. Why else would we be so angry and hurt when it isn't? We wonder:
- If God is a God of love, why is there so much suffering in the world?
- Can any meaning be found in pain, loss and suffering?
- Why do evil people seem to prosper?
- Why does life have to hurt so much?
- Why do terrible things seem to happen to nice people?
- Why does life have to hurt so much?
- Isn't there an easier way to grow?
- Can any meaning be found in pain, loss and suffering?
Written in a highly readable and thought-provoking style, Joel Freeman encourages readers to seek a greater understanding of their feelings of loss and grief through personal reflection. He also prompts discussion about their expectations of themselves, God and others.
This book is not filled with glib answers, which serve to drive honest strugglers into deeper disillusionment. Drawing on his years of experience in counseling people through their grief and suffering, Dr. Freeman provides a framework upon which can be found true, lasting peace and security.
Endorsed by Joni Eareckson Tada, Billy Graham, Paul Meier and others, "God Is Not Fair" presents helpful insights, poignant stories and touches of humor in revealing a biblical perspective on these questions. You are about to embark upon a remarkable journey.

WOULD LOVE TO TALK WITH ANYONE
Some who contact me want to know how they can become a chaplain for a pro team and I am not sure that I can be of any help, but I am willing to talk with you.
I do not want to pour any water on your desire to become a chaplain at the pro level, but just about every chaplain I have ever talked with has told me that they kind of walked into the opportunity serendipitously.
So, from what I can deduce, the more one desires to become a chaplain at the pro level, the less likely it is to happen.
My counsel is to start at the high school or college level in your community. Who knows? You may be working with an athlete who may make it to the "bigs" and who will then request for you to help as an assistant chaplain for that team.
