Have you ever wondered if God loves you? This question has been asked by children of all ages, and the answer sometimes is that they feel unloved. We often make the connection with our feelings about God in the heavens to how we feel about our fathers on Earth.

How Good Can God Be? is an inspiring audiobook to all humans who want to feel the universal emotion of love.

We often don't know what to do or what to say when trying to help others grieving a loss either. Thinking we are going to cause more pain, we do nothing to help the bereaving or we try to “fix them”.
