Foreword by Jim Burns, PhD — Founder, HomeWord

What do you do when life hands you questions that have no good answers?

In From Why to What, Jim Hogan invites readers into one of the most important shifts a person can make — moving from demanding answers to asking a better question. Not Why is this happening to me? but God, what do You want to do in and through me in this situation?

Drawing from decades of personal loss, business life, marriage, and the founding of Standing Stone Ministry — a lifeline for thousands of pastors and ministry leaders across the country — Jim shares the stories, the failures, and the hard-won wisdom of a life surrendered to God’s purposes. Alongside his wife Debbie, whose own journey through unimaginable grief became the bedrock of their shared calling, Jim traces the ripple effects of one faithful question asked at just the right time.

This is a book for anyone who has sat with a cold cup of coffee and wondered if God was still paying attention. For the pastor who feels forgotten. For the ministry couple running on empty. For anyone who has ever confused God’s silence with God’s absence.

From Why to What doesn’t offer easy answers. It offers something better — a new way to ask the question.
