Synopsis

During the tumultuous era of World War II, the city of London shattered under unrelenting bombs dropped by Nazi Germany. Millions of buildings were destroyed or damaged, tens of thousands of civilians were killed, and survivors were left to ask: How can this destruction be part of God's plan? What is God's will in all of this?

After City Temple in London was reduced to rubble, Rev. Leslie Weatherhead crafted five sermons on understanding the will of God to help his congregation endure religious doubt as their city—and church—crumbled around them. Weatherhead's sermons were eventually published as The Will of God, a resource that has sold more than a million copies and has been a lifeline for grieving persons seeking to understand God's purpose for their pain. This revised edition of the classic book includes background information on the historical setting that inspired this book, and a new cover to refresh a timeless message—both for new audiences and returning fans.

Weatherhead (1893-1976), was written in 1944 and at only fifty-six pages long (my old publication), it remains a classic in helping to get one's thinking right about this subject. The book is actually a series of five sermons given at a very difficult time in England, "......more

Goodreads review by Loralee on July 08, 2017

This theologian (who write through the 1930's and 40's) writes of his perspective on the will of God, that there is the intentional will of God and when that is thwarted, the circumstantial will of God and always the ultimate will of God. Discerning the will of God for us is kept real here - with ma......more

Goodreads review by Adam on September 05, 2023

This book was chosen intentionally at this moment in time where my wife and I are making serious decisions and changes in our collective future, in hopes that they are the will of the Father. This book laid out a pretty good and informative description of what God's will is and ways in which we can......more
