Where is God When Love Fails?

Dec. 7, 2010 - PRLog -- Infidelity, Porn Addiction, Death, Divorce and Singleness … The realities of love's failures in our times drives Christians to the honest question: Where is God when love fails?

In Love&Ashes: A Bible Study of Love, Loss, and Ultimate Romance, author Trudy Chun challenges the conventional wisdom of cultural Christianity by tackling this question head on.

“For far too long, cultural Christianity has acted as if 'God owes us...' in so many areas of our lives, particularly with regards to love and marriage,” Trudy explains in the introduction. “We tell young women to simply 'wait for God's best' and while there is some wisdom in that statement, we err when we interpret it to mean God owes us an ideal spouse.”

Love&Ashes  takes readers on a journey through true love stories where everything does not turn out alright. These riveting stories lay the framework as readers explore scriptural stories for common themes. In the end, Love&Ashes challenges readers to share their own stories and discover a whole new perspective on love and how God works in the stories of our own lives.

No preaching, no "how tos," no formulas--just thought-provoking glimpses into real people's lives paired with fresh evaluations of the characters of Scripture.

The Bible assures us that love never fails. But our shallow, superficial perception of love quite often does. That's why we need to see love with its ashes. Love&Ashes does not promise stories of happiness, but does present stories of hope—hope that allows us to be honest about the painful blows of love in this life and challenges us to understand that God's greatest goal for our lives is holiness over happiness.
