Independent intensities, 0–5 — what the work is made of, not how good it is.

A short NavPress book of about 160 pages, published in January 2006 with the subtitle Trusting God in a World of Terrorism, Tsunamis, and Personal Tragedy (later listings: Trusting God in a World of Hurt). Starting from disasters, accidents and personal grief, it asks whether God is truly in charge when loss strikes, and answers yes through a topical Bible study of God's purposes and character. It includes discussion questions and is meant for men, women and teens. It returns to the subject of his earlier Trusting God (1988) in a briefer form.
