To trust in God’s will is the “secret of happiness and content,” the one sure-fire way to attain serenity in this world and salvation in the next. Trustful Surrender simply and clearly answers questions that many Christians have regarding God’s will, the existence of evil, and the practice of trustful surrender, such as:
- How can God will or allow evil?
- Why does God allow bad things to happen to innocent people?
- Why does God appear not to answer our prayers?
- What is Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence?
This enriching classic will lay to rest many doubts and fears and open the door to peace and acceptance of God’s will. TAN’s pocket-sized edition helps you to carry it wherever you go, to constantly remind yourself that God is guarding you. He does not send you any joy too great to bear or any trial too difficult to overcome.

I would love feedback on this review that I found. Thank you.
There is an enormous difference between what is the holy sovereign will of God and what occurs because of His permissive will. This book makes no distinction and thus it falls into grave error. Quote from page 19 "Your misfortunes are not the work of this person or that person, but of God." Really, 6 million Holocaust victims deaths were the work of God? The fall of Lucifer was the work of God? Children dying of cancer is the work of God? The murder of Jesus was the work of God? No, these fell within God's permissive will, not His pure sovereign will. God, in His glory and power can take horrible evil and turn it into good, in this world or in the next. The pages in this book that argue that the evil that occurs is from God Himself, and we humans do not understand this, and thus makes God responsible for evil and sin. This is impossible. So what we can do, by faith, is know that nothing is beyond God's power to redeem, on that we can rely, that is rock we can build on. This lack of distinction can turn men from God instead of towards God who can bring amazing good from horrible evil. But evil never comes from Him. This premise of all calamity and evil coming directly from God is heretical and close to blasphemous--and dangerous for a suffering soul seeking to accept misfortunes with the knowledge that God alone can bring great good from great evil, and God will "dry every tear." To tell a suffering soul that God is the root cause of evil that occurs will turn men from God, and is heretical as God cannot will or do any evil. He gives angels and men free will, and angels rebelled and man fell into sin, both introducing evil because of disobedience to the sovereign will of Almighty God. Read another book without this error pervading the logic.

Providence is God's Name!
Excellent review of acknowledging God's Love for all his creatures, and for me personally. Trust and humility are the way to being at home in his heart -- as this little treatise explains.

Read This Before Anything Else...
This is an amazingly grace filled read. Reading this is the foundation for everything else in trying to live out our faith. Read it and start practicing it immediately. We must trust Jesus and surrender to him for our faith to remain in tact in these end times. This book tells you how. Please TAN keep these classics available.

Enlightenment and Understanding
God's Divine Will is simply God's Divine Love for us. It is a Love that is His desired best for us if we only try to practice complete surrender to His Divine Providence. This book is full of enlightenment to help our understanding of this. I love the size of this book - it fits so comfortably in the palms of my hands.
