How can you continue to have faith in God's plan after experiencing loss? Why does God's plan for me include loss? What did I do to deserve this? John Germain was a simple, well-meaning young man before experiencing heart-wrenching loss and turning his back on God and the church. Using his God-given talent of writing, caustic wit, and pleasing good looks, he leaves the comfort of rural America to chase dreams of success, wealth, and notoriety in New York City with a corrupted heart now shackled with the temptations of pride, arrogance, lust, and greed. Along the way he uses and manipulates people, experiences the New York City high life, and finds himself in a bit of a medical emergency before meeting a woman who shows him how to have faith in God's plan even after experiencing loss, what love really is, and what it means to grow as a person. This book attempts to answer the old question: What is the purpose of loss? Our natural compulsion as humans is to always remove ourselves from the possibility of loss. This book, however, shows the reader that loss can not only be helpful, it can be beautiful. With a new outlook on loss, John is able to finally see life for what it is.
