When tragedy strikes, we can find ourselves at a loss for an explanation. Well-meaning Christians often try to fill that empty space with pseudo-truths about God: "Everything happens for a reason. It's all a part of God's plan. God needed another angel." But if we don't believe these things to be true of God's character, what possible explanation is there when bad things happen? Dr. Thomas Jay Oord has a compelling, if not controversial, answer to that question. He shares the heart of his latest book, God Can't, and why he believes we need to rethink the both God's role and our own in this world.
