God is Great, Terrorists Suck

Of course God exists. So does Satan. So do terrorists. Often in this world evil wins. Evil won on 9/11. Sometimes God has no control over certain events and people get killed, animals get abused, the land gets destroyed, etc. Evil does win in the world every second of every day. Having faith in God helps keep evil away. It can't always but it can help indeed. We do know that in the end God will win. In the meantime we need to do all we can to defeat evil. That ain't easy but it is possible.

He exists

I would like to say to the person who wrote that God doesn't exist, that you are wrong. God exists. He loves you and me, even though you have turned your back on Him. There is a reason that your husband and friends died on that terrible day. We don't know what that reason is, but God does. He knows what is best for all of us. I am sorry that your husband and friends died, but if they were Christians, you can take comfort in knowing that they are with their Redeemer now. When we get to Heaven, you and I will both stand accountable for our sins. If we are Christians, then God will forgive us for those sins, because Jesus died to wash them away. However, if we're not Christians, we will spend eternity suffering in Hell. A person cannot prove that God exists, but if you look around you at creation, you can see His handwork there. Nothing on this earth could have come into being without God's will. If you look at the lives of Christians who have suffered for their faith throughout the centuries, you can see that they were holding onto Something. Even through terrible torture and pain, Christians knew that they couldn't deny Christ. They knew that He was real because He was alive in them. I know that God lives because He lives in me too. I am looking forward to reading this book.

Some ways the world was changed on 9-11

"As the Towers Fell" could not have been written 2 1/2 years ago. Few would have predicted a catastrophe of such magnitude. New Yorkers were not known for their open sharing of spiritual experience. Patterns of faith or the lack thereof were not what one spoke about to friends and family. The climate has changed.This book tells the stories of 24 persons whose lives were drastically altered by what happened that September morning. The book is divided into sections: stories of those who died, as remembered by co-workers and family; survivors of the attack,in their own words; and the experiences of rescuers and volunteers. The author was and is involved as a director of partnerships and volunteers. Here is an immensely valuable record of faith being put to the test, in these "Stories of Unshakable Faith on 9-11."

very inspiring

thanks for such an inspiring book of stories of such real people. I lost my good friend and colleague also and she is written about in this book.Susan's live will be remembered after her life has ended. I see it as a legacy to those whose faith kept them going even in the midst of such a haneous crime. They will inspire others so even though they died, they will continue to encourage others.

THERE is a God!

I found that as I read this book, I found a sense of hope that God is in charge in the end. Very inspirational! Thanks!
