The Fortunate Fall: Understanding the Blessings and Burdens of Adversity Book

Why does a loving God allow his children to suffer? Why does God allow evil to exist? Do Adam and Eve's choices really affect me today? Author Daniel K Judd helps us answer these timeless questions with fresh perspectives about the lessons we can learn from our first parents, both from their obedience and sacrifice and from their sins and mistakes. Drawing on his experience as a bishop, Brother Judd shows that correctly understanding the Fall can save troubled marriages and other relationships and help us respond to the many kinds of evil and temptations we face. He shares stories and recent research that show the changes people can make as they understand this doctrine. The Fortunate Fall helps us have patience with ourselves and others and reminds us that many problems we face are a part of God's tutoring to help us become like Him.
