Life from the UpSide: Seeing God at Work in the World

Life from the UpSide: Seeing God at Work in the World

"I confess that I am an unreconstructed optimist. Not a naive one; Iâ€™ve lived too long for that, long enough to have experienced a resounding case for pessimism. I have vivid memories of the Great Depression, and Iâ€™ve lived through several wars and those international anomalies that we call police actions. Iâ€™ve watched what has seemed to me to be a rather steady decline in both public and private morals, and a growing confusion about ethics. And of course, Iâ€™ve watched the increasing prevalence of both evil and inanity (sometimes theyâ€™re synonymous) in television and on the Internet." from the Introduction But: There is God. And because there is God, there is goodness. I profoundly believe that God is at work in our world and that our planet has not yet been written off as a lost cause. History seems to tell me that though our human race appears so often to dedicate itself to its own destruction, God is always at work, usually, I think, behind the scenes. And because of God, faith, love, and goodness keep being reborn. So I write about Life from the Up Side. Twelve sessions: On Being Born with a Rusty Spoon: For those whoâ€™ve had a bad start When Life Is at January: Who knows what wonders lie ahead? A Woman Who Lived with Scorn: For those who suffer rejection close at hand Donâ€™t Blame the Donkey! Capitalize on your adversity When Youâ€™ve Been Given a Bad Name: Donâ€™t let others define you Color Her Moses: Never give up. Never. Plot for a Life: More than success Party Gone Flat: What to do when life loses its flavor Suppose Youâ€™re Worth More Than You Think You Are: Itâ€™s time you calculated your worth How Wide Is a Boat? Gladness is nearer than you think Strange Victory: The gains in our losses The View from Mount Nebo: And then, there is heaven
