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?

When your boy was killed was it the will of God? When the flying bomb fell on your house, was it God's plan? Our thoughts about the will of God are so confused that some take refuge in fatalism a philosophy far less satisfying than the truth. Others are bewildered and tortured in mind in an effort to harmonise the fiendish evil, let loose in the world with the will of an Omnipotent, loving father. In this book, Mr Weatherhead seeks to make clear how the confusion has arisen and to straighten out matters so that the mind of the reader is eased and his faith strengthened.
