When I was in college, I had the opportunity to hear Norman Vincent Peale in person. I read his book but something seems to be missing in his approach, which Nicky points out. Our outlook to life is not based on our self effort to have a positive mental attitude. It’s based on our faith in the Creator who has a plan and knowing that He is loving and all knowledgable. Our world runs on self effort and earning our way. But God’s kingdom is built on His grace, an upside down way to think. Even though bad things happen, despite our good efforts and intentions, God is with us. He will NEVER leave us or forsake us.
