Why?: Looking at God Evil & Personal Suffering

- Why do bad things happen? - If God exists why doesnt he do something? - Why am I being singled out? Of all the hurdles to faith surely suffering must be the greatest. It tears lives apart and raises questions for us all. But when we ask why? to whom are we addressing our question? Where do the most satisfying answers come from? Does it matter? Sharon Dirckx deftly interweaves the stories of Frances Will Grace Charles and Rachel who have faced some of lifes toughest personal challenges with a practical consideration of the Why? questions we all ask about God and suffering. She concludes I would like to show you that even though we dont understand everything it is still possible to believe in a powerful loving God and acknowledge the reality of evil and suffering. Not only that but seeing life from this perspective helps us make more not less sense of our hurting world. While we may never have all the answers it does not mean that there are no answers at all.
