“So when the sun rose on that beautiful spring morning, all was right with the world. As I kissed Melynda goodbye for the day, I was really kissing her for the last time, it was our last moment together on earth. In a matter of hours, my world was about to change forever.”

Author Reputation Press is honored to publish “God’s Purpose in Creation” by Vernon M. Carrigan, M.D. This is the work of a person filled with the Holy Spirit to talk about creation, good and evil, and suffering in the context of evangelism and missions. The book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the ARP website.
Author Dr. Vernon M. Carrigan is now a retired internal medicine physician who worked for 40 years as a physician and health care administrator in his hometown of Clarksville, TN. He became a Christian at age 13 and practiced Christian principles in his life and practice. He has been married twice, the second time after a tragic accident claimed the life of his first wife and has had two sons, the older of whom has also passed.
In retirement, he has enjoyed frequent international travel, including medical mission trips, reading, writing, golfing, photography, bridge, and spending time with his grandson. Dr. Carrigan was also the founder of Bethany House in Clarksville, which was a faith-based restorative program on his farm for drug-addicted women.
In his practice, Dr. Carrigan witnessed Christians suffer and die from ravaging and devastating diseases. As a historian, he was aware of the untold suffering humanity has endured, at times at its own hands and even at times in the name of God. He has personally suffered the deaths of his wife, son, and grandson, and the near deaths of his other son and himself in separate accidents.
He asked God why He has allowed such suffering in his people—the question asked by millions over the centuries of human history.
In “God’s Purpose in Creation,” the author sets forth a theological explanation based on God’s ultimate plan and perfect will for his church and his permissive will at work in our lives today. The author has clearly made his case for the fact that God’s purpose for the Cosmos is to have a viable relationship with every person on Earth.
Dr. Carrigan reveals the concepts of good and evil and suffering based upon his own experience, as opposed to fashioning them from theory or mental exercise. It is easy to see that the stresses and strains of the author’s life have made him much stronger in his beliefs and actions. He knows God as his Creator, Jesus as his Savior, and the Holy Spirit as his indwelling guide for life.
