Synopsis: The purpose of this book is to encourage people who are
struggling with understanding how a loving God seemingly allows
evil in the lives of his children-that He jealously protects-and
for the maturing of his children-whom He sincerely loves. The book,
which is a result of a personal journey in the author's life and
ministry, is a remarkable blending of an exposition of the biblical
book of Habakkuk and a firsthand account of the contemporary
struggles faced by believers in Africa. The author identifies with
Habakkuk's struggles and sees how they apply generally to his own
fellow Africans. More than merely identifying with Habakkuk's
plight, however, the author also sees how Habakkuk worked through
his struggles to a mature view of God's sovereignty and the
necessity for a vital faith that trusts the Lord no matter what.
This book will encourage you with its positive message of God's
ultimate goodness-even in the midst challenging circumstances-and
it will motivate you to submit your life to him, so that you may
triumph over those circumstances through the power of the Holy
Spirit. Endorsements: "Sometimes things seem overwhelming. Evil
continues to increase and ravage good people. When will it ever
stop? Rev. Faustin Ntamushobora offers us rare insights into
questions of theodicy in our global era. As one who sacrificially
lived out his faith during the Rwandan genocide, Ntamushobora
thinks profoundly, writes passionately, and helps us to live
through the wretchedness of life as we put our faith in the God of
Habbakuk." --Roberta R. King Associate Professor of Communication
and Ethnomusicology Fuller Theological Seminary "Faustin narrates
an African story through the experience of Prophet Habakkuk that
the covenant keeping God will inevitably fulfill his promise. He
identifies with the prevailing tragedies and communicates biblical
truth to the affected millions on the continent that God is active
in their suffering and will punish the perpetrators of evil. God is
preparing a generation of leaders to fulfill his plans and purposes
for Africa. I highly recommend this book to all Christian leaders."
--Emmanuel Bellon Vice Chancellor Nairobi International School of
