by Timothy Keller.  [2013]
This book grapples with the age-old question: how do we deal with pain and suffering, both in our own lives and in the world around us?
The problem of suffering is for many the greatest obstacle to trusting in a good and loving God, raising the most difficult and important questions of our lives.
If God is love, why is there so much pain in the world?
How do we face suffering – both our own and others – with wisdom and
compassion?
How do we continue to trust in a good God when faced with the deepest pain?
Keller avoids platitudes and easy answers, and instead gives guidance,
encouragement, and inspiration.
