This book is truly remarkable!!
"The wisdom, the faith, the insight, the humor, the courage, the intellect – all necessary for such a book to be believable – and only because the author herself is real and has truly been tested.” Compassionate Friends is a national nonprofit, self-help support organization that offers friendship, understanding, and hope to bereaved parents, grandparents and siblings. |

Many books wander in my life — always the right one at the right time. At a particularly tough time, this one found me.
"I think the world is ready for a book like this. It's easy to forget our tools during crises so what a refreshing relief to be returned to the basics and hear the obvious of what was too glaring to see! Thank you for encapsulating everything in a gracious, humorous, SIMPLE way that when I felt shrouded by a cloak, I could SEE it. "

Why you should read this book, "Life teaches us lessons if we listen. Five Reasons Why Bad Things Happen puts the suffering we face, because of life, in perspective. It's not what happens, but how we think about what happens. We can change our lives by changing how we think. This book made me think. It came at an important time in my life. If you struggle, because of life, you must read this book. It may change how you think about your suffering. That alone may give you the courage and hope to see it through. If you are not suffering now, you will eventually. Get it for your library." |

A Tool Chest For Broken Bodies, Hearts and Spirits
"Unlike other well intended books that spoon solace with gentle words of comfort, Five Reasons Why Bad Things Happen takes more of a hands-on workshop approach by serving than mere "coping saws" of wisdom to the beleagured. Readers will find this exhaustively culled composite of practical, spiritual and philosophical wisdom to be street smart sensible. It's also likely to prompt more than a few "a-ha" nods to the divine. While other books on the topic offer bromides to ease pain, guilt and despair, Brownell Landrum's proactive perspectives can actually help equip readers with techniques and insights to foresee and even dissolve the looming shadows of dire fate. A true lifeline for all times, good and bad."
