Professor Hall has written a major work on an agonizing subject, at once brilliant, comprehensive, and thought provoking.In contrast to many writers who gloss over one or the other, Dr. Hall is true both to the reality of suffering and to the affirmation that God creates, sustains, and redeems.Creative is his view that certain aspects of what we call suffering -- loneliness, experience of limits, temptation, anxiety -- are necessary parts of God's good creation. These he distinguishes from suffering after the fall, the tragic dimension of life.Unique is his structure: creation-suffering as becomingthe fall--suffering as a burdenredemption--conquest from within.Professor Hall succeeds in moving the reader beyond the customary way of stating the problem: "How can undeserved suffering coexist with a just and almighty God?" He also evaluates five popular, leading thinkers on suffering: Harold Kushner, C.S. Lewis, Diogenes Allen, George Buttrick, and Leslie Weatherhead.

"If you are looking for one book to make sense of the problem of evil, this book is for you." Sean McDowell Grasping This Truth Will Change Your View of God Forever If God is good and all-powerful, why doesn't He put a stop to the evil in this world? Christians and non-Christians alike struggle with the concept of a loving God who allows widespread suffering in this life and never-ending punishment in hell. We wrestle with questions such as... Why do bad things happen to good people? Why should we have to pay for Adam's sin? How can eternal judgment be fair? But what if the real problem doesn't start with God...but with us? Clay Jones, an associate professor of Christian apologetics at Biola University, examines what Scripture truly says about the nature of evil and why God allows it. Along the way, he'll help you discover the contrasting abundance of God's grace, the overwhelming joy of heaven, and the extraordinary destiny of believers.

When somebody asks me “do you believe in God?” I have to answer “yes, but maybe mine is not the one you're talking about”.Some people get scared and others smile at this answer, which can be seen as either a joke or a warning.What few people wonder is about what kind of God are they believing in.They always assume that if my God isn't the same as theirs, I'm the one worshiping the wrong God.However, the question related to believing or not in a God, and in what kind of God we believe, makes a huge difference when we want to debate the question of “why does God allow suffering”.This difference is behind the creation of millions of different belief systems, each one claiming that their God is the true God.I'm not in favor of the opinion that all Gods are true, which, even if correct, would have to make us question about how many Gods do exist.The main point is that it doesn't matter how many Gods exist, or if they are all different and true in their uniqueness, as they could only operate under one single system that could be common to all human beings on Earth.Therefore, we can assume that maybe different Gods could have different purposes in different galaxies where beings are also different from us.This book proposes to explore, and precisely describe, how a God, or Gods, operate in this planet in particular.Maybe the rules described here don't match the God of the reader, and that's why I must say that this is all about my God, the one in which I believe.Nevertheless, I must mention that I spent my entire life studying different religions with its leaders, and each one of them told me that my believe system was the same as theirs, at least until we could find something to disagree with, which was actually rare, because the deepest we go in any study of any religious philosophy, the closer we get to the universal truth behind the meaning of each one of them.I always believed that my God is a good one, so I struggled for many years of my life trying to understand why I was suffering so much and without any mercy. And then I wondered why so many good people that I knew were suffering.I lost my faith many times, and ended up searching for answers in opposite philosophies, namely, Wicca and Satanic. But I realized that their answers were just another perspective about the same reality.In fact, my researches on the field of exorcism reinforced this knowledge with a more accurate analysis.In the end, I was able to make my inner positive nature prevail, and as I continued my studies among different religious systems, and later in the temples of Buddhists in China and Hindus in India, I was able to get a much wider approach to suffering in life.Today, it's very simple for me to see why anyone suffers. It only takes a few seconds to realize it.This skill has helped me make many people happy without many efforts. And they all said that I changed their life dramatically, with just a few very powerful words that they'll never forget.The power of these words doesn't come from me, but the universal truth that God wants us to learn.My life today is far happier than it ever was, although I can't say that it's perfect. And even though I helped many souls reach a better insight about the meaning of their lives, there are still many others that I couldn't help, because they are not ready for the truth.Even for me, it took quite a few years to understand how this truth works.Today I know that it doesn't matter if I believe in it or not, because you don't need faith to believe in a way out of the suffering. At least, it's not the most important thing. But you do need to know why and how suffering works, to understand its meaning.In this book, the way out of the suffering, as well as its reasons, are clearly described.

You are not alone if you struggle to understand why unwanted, unexplainable, and inconceivable bad things happen to innocent people! Never before have there been so many questions like: How could a loving God permit good people to suffer bad things and often make it appear as though the guilty are rewarded or go scot free? Why are there so many things in the world that seem unfair or unjust? Why does God seemingly hide his face from much of the horrific evil, pain and destruction? Does God really care? Is it fair for humans to be angry with God about their misfortune or suffering? Why are there so many good people accused falsely for their suffering? What defence mechanisms can I put in place to minimize evil, suffering, pain, misfortune, and the devil’s influence in my own life? What purpose does suffering, and pain serve in human life? These are some of the most thought-provoking, spiritually intuitive, deeply agitating, and most frequent questions asked by countless individuals, especially by those who believe that there is a God.
