Synopsis

Every one of us will experience suffering. Many of us are experiencing it now. As we have seen in recent years, evil is real in our world, present and close to each one of us.

In such difficult times, suffering and evil beg questions about God--Why would an all-good and all-powerful God create a world full of evil and suffering? And then, how can there be a God if suffering and evil exist?

These are ancient questions, but also modern ones as well. Atheists such as Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and even former believers like Bart Ehrman answer the question simply: The existence of suffering and evil proves there is no God.

In this captivating new book, best-selling author Randy Alcorn challenges the logic of disbelief, and brings a fresh, realistic, and thoroughly biblical insight to the issues these important questions raise.

Alcorn offers insights from his conversations with men and women whose lives have been torn apart by suffering, and yet whose faith in God burns brighter than ever. He reveals the big picture of who God is and what God is doing in the world–now and forever. And he equips you to share your faith more clearly and genuinely in this world of pain and fear.

"As he did in his best-selling book, Heaven, Randy Alcorn delves deep into a profound subject, and through compelling stories, provocative questions and answers, and keen biblical understanding, he brings assurance and hope to all."
-Publishers Weekly

At the outset, let me say that though I have (justifiably) given this a rare five star review it is not faultless. It is too long, clunky in its writing in spots, relies perhaps too much on logic, uses a variety of Bible versions, and leans calvinistic in places. But having said all of that, it is a......more

I have read all of Randy Alcorn's book and must rate this as one of his top ones. Since I received it from the publisher, I wanted to read it in a timely fashion and then review it.

Randy does a great job of backing up most of his key points with Bible verses. He does a very thorough job of covering most issues. This book is an encouragement for anyone that is going through a major trial in their life. ( I guess that includes everyone!). I definitely recommend this book.......more

Goodreads review by John on September 20, 2019

The longer I read and follow Randy Alcorn the more I respect the man. Alcorn’s If God is Good is written with Alcorn’s typical style: patient, comprehensive, deep but accessible.
