* Isn't there an easier way to grow?
* Can any meaning be found in pain, loss and suffering?

This book (now in 21 languages, 400,000+ copies in print) has been endorsed by Joni Eareckson Tada, Billy Graham, Dr. Paul Meier, and many others -- prompting a lot of feedback from individuals and families around the world who have lost loved ones and/or have experienced personal pain brought on by the unfairness of life.

Fast forward to 2011. The updated and expanded 25th Anniversary Hospice edition (192 pages) of "God Is Not Fair: Making Sense of Loss and Grief" was launched at the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) conference in Washington, DC earlier in 2011. Dr. Freeman and National HME (Dallas, TX) have joined forces to offer this special hospice edition and are excited about the way this book can be utilized to provide a different thought process for people who have experienced loss and grief.

Joel Freeman states, "Dealing with pain, loss and suffering is a messy process. Predictably unpredictable. Smarmy, flowery responses do not work, especially during tough times...generally only serving to drive people into deeper disillusionment." Joel goes on to say that "God Is Not Fair" is a book that will connect with readers right where they are hurting.

Here is one reader's response:

“In the midst of a very terrible time in my life, I stumbled across God Is Not Fair. It blew me away. I have read many, many books on suffering and dealing with life's tragedies. This one is different in that it does not simply regurgitate the standard pat answers to why suffering exists and what to do when it happens...Joel Freeman avoids preachy, sanctimonious language and never gets condescending. I received practical strategies for dealing with not only suffering and grief but the accompanying feelings of unfairness and "God's absence" that go along with those feelings. My faith in God was strengthened by my having read this book.”

Just like this reader, many family members who have experienced the loss of a loved one will want to read this book.

The president and founder of National HME (George Robertson) said, "Dr. Freeman has graciously offered his book to share with you through our company, National HME. We understand that the recent loss of your loved one has left an empty part in your heart and I believe that the words in the book will challenge you, help you understand your feelings and allow you to continue on the journey that you have been called to.

Review the book to determine its viability as a resource for hurting families. Just when you think the book is finished, there are several appendices that are definitely worth reading. The first is "The Paradoxical Commandments" by Kent Keith. The second is a long list of quotes, which are both humorous and insightful. The third is a comparison between justice/mercy vs. fairness. The fourth is a biblical survey of suffering. The fifth is a list of Bible verses that are helpful in dealing with thoughts of God's "unfairness."

BACKGROUND (personal note by Joel Freeman): The book, "God Is Not Fair," was written over 25 years ago, birthed out of an intensely painful period that lasted a few years in the early 1980s -- sponsoring more haunting questions than answers. I "journaled" my way through that dark time, discovering creative concepts, spiritual insights and humor that seemed to connect much later with other people honestly wrestling with similar issues and questions. The book was published and many readers let me know that the book had benefited them during some very difficult times.

In 2009, both my father (Arthur, 91) and mother (Katherine, 90) died within 33 days of each other in Vancouver. Even though I have been a licensed professional counselor for years, helping many walk through their grief, the "one-two" punch of losing both parents so close together, threw me for a loop. I experienced a blue funk for 3-4 months afterwards. The dark cloud disappeared one day and I cannot even give you a tidy little A-B-C formula as to how it happened. It was a breakthrough. Later (in early 2011), I engaged in the therapeutic process of updating and expanding this book.

Based upon the wide range of responses from around the world -- transcending race, ethnicity, generation, gender and culture -- I am hopeful that you will view this book as a resource for people who are asking the same questions addressed by this book.
