When God Doesn't Make Sense by James Dobson

Quotes from the book:
If you think life should be fair or easy, you are Satan's target.

Let God be God! (His timing is perfect, to us it seems late.)

With God even when nothing is happening, something is happening.

Your arms are too short to box with God; don't even try it!

Adversity can have a positive effect by helping develop character and to realize dependence on Him. (Object lesson of a 2x4 piece of wood, it can build a house or knock a man out. You either despair or trust God!

Some things in this life will have to be put in file of "Things I Don't Understand".

You cannot suddenly fabricate foundation of strength (and faith) from nowhere; they must have been building all along.

Surgery of life hurts - But we know the surgeon!

Instead of silence of God, one day we will have the presence of God (face to face). Pain is the 'not yet' of eternity.
