About the Author
Jon Edward Gauthier
It has now been over twenty years since I wrote the first chapters for this book, and over ten years since its original publication. While it is an imperfect attempt to explain how the goodness of the Lord works, it has been for me a major part of discovering God’s love.
Do I have a mission? Yes, to save souls, including my own. I strive to communicate that life is simple because the fundamentals upon which everything is based are simple. If this book is complex, I’ve lost touch with how life works,
About the Book
Embracing Goodness
From his own experience with the most tragic of life changing events, the loss of five siblings over the span of four years in his youth, author Jon Edward Gauthier offers others hope in finding God’s love in the most trying of circumstances. For others who have suffered the loss of a loved one, or have experienced another kind of life changing event, such as a failed relationship, loss of work, addictions, injury, or a sense of hopelessness, Embracing Goodness: How Life Works reveals the interaction of God’s love, free will, timelessness in heaven, and our own obligation to help others. It invites the reader to both reflect on their own life and remember miracles and revelations that reveal their own faith. Embracing Goodness: How Life Works is not only an outline for how to live a more fulfilling life, but also an insightful journey in understanding how pain and suffering lead to joy.
The US Review of Books
“Gauthier describes his relationship with God from his early childhood to adulthood in this inspirational book. Even though he went through loss and grief, he never lost his deep connection to God….Gauthier offers a candid and deep dive into his personal life experiences and shows how to accept the bad and good things that might occur. He never holds back on what kept him going on his journey. As a result, he conveys perfectly that humans should enjoy the gift of life and not let it slip away.”

“I understand the family friend who passed away in the chapter, Children of God, is former Duke point guard Dick Devenzio. In my family, and in the brotherhood of players I have coached at Duke and on several U.S. Olympic teams, I have always considered every one of us to be children of God. This chapter captures the essence of innocence while at the same time accepting the profoundness of our faith, ‘To embrace goodness with the trust and acceptance of a child’s understanding.’”
