Summary:
Every one of us will experience suffering. Many of us are experiencing it now. As we have seen in recent years, evil is real in our world, present and close to each one of us.
In such difficult times, suffering and evil beg questions about God--Why would an all-good and all-powerful God create a world full of evil and suffering? And then, how can there be a God if suffering and evil exist?
These are ancient questions, but also modern ones as well. Atheists such as Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and even former believers like Bart Ehrman answer the question simply: The existence of suffering and evil proves there is no God.
In this captivating new book, best-selling author Randy Alcorn challenges the logic of disbelief, and brings a fresh, realistic, and thoroughly biblical insight to the issues these important questions raise.
Alcorn offers insights from his conversations with men and women whose lives have been torn apart by suffering, and yet whose faith in God burns brighter than ever. He reveals the big picture of who God is and what God is doing in the world–now and forever. And he equips you to share your faith more clearly and genuinely in this world of pain and fear.
As he did in his best-selling book, Heaven, Randy Alcorn delves deep into a profound subject, and through compelling stories, provocative questions and answers, and keen biblical understanding, he brings assurance and hope to all.

When this book arrived in my mailbox I was a bit surprised by the size, and I admit I was thinking, "How am I ever going to find time to read this book." At nearly 500 words that were typed rather tiny, I was both discouraged and intrigued. Discouraged because I knew I wouldn't be able to spend all the time I wanted on reading this book and intrigued because of some situations I have been presented with on my daily walk. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. I love the fact that there are so many scripture references. The issues that were presented could be very instrumental. Everything from understanding evil to why God allows suffering. I am definately planning on finishing this book, just not sure when - there has been a lot of good stuff within these pages so I have been really soaking it in and pondering the thoughts that arise after reading these pages.
