When a disaster happens; when personal tragedy strikes; when we are perplexed by world events, Christians begin to doubt that God is either truly good, or truly in control.

In this book, Christopher Ash faces these questions head on, without flinching at any of the difficulties. First, he looks at six different ways people have answered these questions, and then reveals the Bible's answer: the revelation of God's character and purposes throughout history. This warm and pastoral book will help those struggling with this question to see the grand vision of the Bible's answer - and the tragedy of adopting any other viewpoint.

"... clear, succinct, and written with a charming simplicity that yet rests upon profound theology. Using examples from everyday pastoral ministry, he provides biblical answers to the kind of questions which all believers ask, and also offers firm responses to the various common errors and mistakes which people make concerning such matters as God's providence, evil, and suffering."?
