Sinopsis

Why Do the Innocent Suffer? If God is loving and powerful, why did He allow suffering to exist?If God is all loving, and all powerful, couldn?t He stop all suffering?Why are innocent children born deformed?Why are there wars? What about tornadoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis?Doesn?t God care about all the people who are suffering in the world? Peter Warren, Southwest USA Director of Youth With A Mission, says: I love Mike?s passion to defend the Character of God and how he backs up everysingle point with the Word of God. The fact that he does this, instead of simply giving hisown ideas or impressions, gives great authority to what he is saying.So many young people, which is the bulk of those I work with, have grown up withdeep misunderstandings and questions about God?s love when they see innocent peoplesuffering. Very few of them have had any Biblically-based teaching on the subject.I wish every single one of them could read this book! Dean Harvey, Pastor, Teacher, and Missionary with Youth With a Mission, observes: Why Do The Innocent Suffer? is the most comprehensive discussion of this topic Ihave ever seen. Saia compares the various religious and philosophical reasons offeredto answer this question, then solves the problem with a thoroughly Biblical answer. Wemight summarize the message of the book as an answer to the question of Moses inGenesis 18:25, 'Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?'Mike?s thorough exegesis of the book of Job is a highlight of the book, and wouldserve every pastor and teacher very well.
