Book review by Joy-Jordan Lake

Image
Why Did This Happen to Me, Aunt Lou is a valuable book. Not only is it charmingly illustrated, but it also gently and clearly helps children confront the incredibly difficult issues of free will and theodicy (why bad things can happen to innocent people) and where God might be in the suffering. These are tough topics even for adults to handle in healthy ways, but in this rare book, the author Rachel Hall Stolle writes with compassion and empathy, leading children to understand that most crucial of points, that when bad things happen in their world, God is with them in their pain. Dr. Joy Jordan-Lake is a professor and the author of five books, the latest of which is a novel, Blue Hole Back Home. http://www.joyjordanlake.com/30/

New Review by Poetic Monthly Magazine

A beautiful Christian based story broad enough to deal with any crisis a child may endure. Typically, after a crisis we question why did this happen? Aunt Lou is a loving character that explains in depth why sometimes bad things happen to good people, even children. I love the fact that the author took the time to explain 'free will' and how God gives us all the opportunity to choose. Even in our wrong decisions God will forgive us, and He loves and cares for each of us. The author does an excellent job of displaying scriptures to support the story. The illustrations are colorful and include children of all races. I thouroughly enjoyed the book, and would love to see a possible series develop with the character Aunt Lou. Great book, I would highly recommend it.
