If God is good, why doesn't he stop natural disasters? If God lets something awful happen to me, doesn't it prove he doesn't really care? Why is there so much suffering--in fact, why is there evil in the world at all? How could a loving God condemn anyone to eternal hell?

Questions like these plague us. Evil erupts around us constantly and we feel powerless. But are we? Is there nothing we can do? Are there no real answers to these questions?

Author John R. Spencer brings to these questions broad and diverse experience in law enforcement, social work, and teaching, plus over twenty years of pastoral ministry. This book was not written from an ivory tower but from life's trenches, including deep personal tragedy.

Are there answers? Yes, powerful answers that will refocus, even redefine your life. Spencer walks us carefully through each solid, frank answer, and takes on those who say we should not even ask the questions.
