God is still for you

A diagnosis. A betrayal. A layoff. A phone call with news you can hardly believe is true. The life you were counting on will never be.

And you wonder, where is God?

Gideon, an unlikely hero in the Old Testament, wasn’t afraid to ask the hard question, “If the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us?”

Bob Page

Bob Page is a retired Air Force brigadier general with decades of experience as a chaplain and pastor. With wisdom and a warm writing style, Bob’s heart for the wounded, the discouraged, the fallen, and the one who feels unseen shines through each chapter. His signature humor shows up in heartwarming stories that bring light to biblical truth and point you toward hope.

Bob says he won the lottery when he turned eighteen and got his selective service draft number that required him to do military service. It was an unexpected turn that felt like a huge detour from the future he had planned. Yet, it was on that detour that God introduced him to the love of his life and his life’s work.

Bob met Ruth at Loring Air Force Base, Maine. He was there from LSU for ROTC field training. She was there from Clemson University with her family for the summer working as a student nurse in a local hospital. He was nineteen. She was a few months younger. After attending a chapel service where Ruth’s dad was a chaplain, Ruth’s mother invited Bob to their home for Sunday lunch. Before they parted ways that day, Bob and Ruth tore a chapel bulletin in half to exchange mailing addresses, promising to send postcards to each other when they returned to their schools in the fall. After more than 50 years of marriage, Bob and Ruth still have those pieces of the chapel bulletin and the two Tiger postcards. They live near their two married daughters and sons-in-law. They are amazed daily by their five grandchildren.
