In a world where acts of pain and suffering appear to be around every corner, from those at a global level such as poverty, war, and natural disasters to things at a personal level like grief, pain, and injustice, it’s hard to grasp where God fits in to all this mess, which can often be why so many people reject God.

Even as a Christian, trying to get your head around why God would allow pure acts of evil or the emotional turmoil of losing a loved one can be hard to fully grasp.

This concise, easy-to-read, and powerful book is a must-read for believers and nonbelievers alike.

The author gives a heartfelt yet in-depth examination of how different beliefs deal with pain and suffering. She explains the unique answer that is found in Christ and how God's knowledge surpasses all our understanding, and He promises justice for all who have suffered at the same time as forgiveness for the perpetrators who want to change.

The book has had a profound impact on my life and given me comfort and wisdom in challenging times. I couldn't recommend it more, so please read it and, when you've done so, pass it on.
