| Everything Happens for a Reason:Finding the True Meaning of the Events in Our Lives by Three Rivers Press appealing |
This book is what I needed in this moment. I've just changed my job and the author really made me believe that what she wrote is absolutely true.

| Everything Happens for a Reason:Finding the True Meaning of the Events in Our Lives by Three Rivers Press Disappointed |
| As a Christian I was totally disappointed in this book. The author made it clear that this book was not about God, but rather trying to figure out on own why things happen. |
| Everything Happens for a Reason:Finding the True Meaning of the Events in Our Lives by Three Rivers Press Simplistic |
This book is an array of simplistic information based on cognitive therapy. Instant revelations of one's point of view and correcting it do not a big change in life make, in my opinion. The writer seems to think so.
I'm also tired of professional writers starting many sentences with "But" when the "but" should be connecting one half of a sentence with another, or the two thoughts should be separate sentences, either of which would work well, rather than repeatedly breaking rules of grammar in this way. Where are the proofreaders and editors? |
| Everything Happens for a Reason:Finding the True Meaning of the Events in Our Lives by Three Rivers Press An easy read, comforting at times |
| I think overall the book offered great guidance and different perspective. I think it is to be used more for a personal analysis. I recommended this book to others who enjoyed it as well. |
| Everything Happens for a Reason:Finding the True Meaning of the Events in Our Lives by Three Rivers Press everything hapens for reason can be not good thought |
let's get our definitions straight. by 'reason' i mean for a good purpose, k?
imagine this because everythin happens for a reason is a dangerous thought: there's a race going on 4 getting the gift of eternal salvation except the race isn't about who will reach the end first, it's about if you can make it to the end before the time limit ends. imagine a road: when u walk towards the prize, forward, you see the signs that encourage you to keep moving forward (and when you keep going forward, there are goodies that u can pick up off the bushes) =good path.when a person looks at what' behind them and walk the other direction away from the prize of salvation, there r signs saying to go turn around and to head the right direction. if a person keeps walking on that road, he could fall in a big ditch or trip over logs. The signs are like experiences or warnings or encouragements and God puts to urge u to go the right direction. When a person hears the saying 'everything happens for a reason.' they have the tendency to think "really? everything happens for a reason, good and bad? in that case, i'll do something bad on purpose becuase it'll happen for a good reason\ " ppl will walk on the backwards path and not pay attention to the signs because whatever bad things they do will happen for a good reason..or so they think. ppl will fall into ditches and use the saying 'everything happens for a reason' to justify their intentional sin. they will think that they are intentionally sinning so that they could learn how to forgive themselves, or want to learn things the hard way because they think the lessons going to stick to them better, or because they want to procrastinate going to the right path or because they think they'll know how much they have better becaus of the saying you never know how much you have until it's gone.
first of all,well, you wouldn't be able to forgive yourself if you walk into the ditch intentionally because you wouldn't be forgetting about things by moving on, instead, the person would be keeping thoughts of their mistakes, stuch in the ditch. Being in the ditch and having nothing to eat, would make you hungry and there would be a constant hurt in your stomach that u wouldn't be able to forget, so u wouldn't be able to forgive unless you got out of the ditch and went on the forward right path.we already have enough things in our life to forgive. it's better to learn things the easy way because ur just wasting ur time learning things the hard way on purpose, unless, u accidentally learn something the hard way. it's not worth going through all the trouble just to learn things the hard way because you can already learn things the easy way and that means that you could just do things the right way= easy way. if you keep learnigng things the hard way (purposely) then you won't be making things easy for people, and God wants to make things simple as possible. (psalm 116:6) what an excuse. we move better when being on the right path/. u can realize how much u have even if its not gone. :) think about it..u don't have to go to the poor in iraq to learn how much value whatever your possessions are.
there are different reasons though if you don't pass a test for college even though you tried your best. as for things like that, it's a different story. perhaps that field you're trying to be in is not really your skill.

In Everything Happens for a Reason, psychotherapist Mira Kirshenbaum encourages us to discover the meaning in what has happened to us, seeing these experiences as gifts, lessons, or opportunities. Building on more than twenty-five years of clinical research, Kirshenbaum helps us decode the confusing or unfortunate moments in our lives and find solace and strength. |
