Based on a lifetime of personal experiences, Embracing Goodness: How Life Works is a faith-based guide to understanding life changing events. EVERYONE will experience life changing events, including the death of a loved one, injury, separation, loss of a job, or community, regional, national, or international life changing event. These events will challenge your belief in God, your understanding of the course of history, and your understanding of the timelessness of heaven. Rather than shrink from life changing events, you will understand the tools you have to survive, accept, and manage life changing events. These tools include prayer and action and will ultimately require acceptance. There are only 124 pages to Embracing Goodness: How Life Works, but there are 70 chapters, which gives you a glimpse of the breadth of knowledge you are about to gain.

Jon Edward Gauthier is one of fifteen children. He experienced the deaths of five siblings over the span of four years in his youth. Embracing Goodness: How Life Works, bridges the pain of living with the calm of experiencing God’s presence during even the darkest moments. It is in this way of sharing the journey of pain and suffering to joy that gives hope to both the author and the reader.

There are few absolute truths in this world, and one of them is that God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten son so that we may be saved. (John 3:16) And He waits for us to embrace His love, to embrace His goodness. Thus, the title, Embracing Goodness, and the emphasis, How Life Works. Whether read now, referred to later, or shared now or later with a friend experiencing a life changing event, it will become part of your First Aid Kit for life changing events.
