If God Is Good

Faith in the Midst of Suffering and Evil

De: Randy Alcorn

Narrado por: Will Matthews

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.©2009 Randy Alcorn (P)2009 Random House

Excellent

This is such a well-reasoned and biblically accurate book about evil and suffering in this world. Exhaustive in the sense that he touched on all conceivable questions, but not exhausting. Well written. Thank you Randy Alcorn!

Everyone should delve into this book!

This has to be the most compelling and Biblically sound book about faith and suffering. ❤️

Amazing Perspective on Suffering

The topic of suffering is often avoided in both the secular and even Christian sphere. This book really addressed some of the reasons why and how suffering is not a curse but really a blessing to be grateful for. Thankyou!

Getting God's Perspective on Suffering

I am grateful for the great effort of research brought by Randy Alcorn to bring God's counsel on a subject we all need help with. This is a textbook I wish I found sooner. I valued his ability to tackle all the views, right and wrong, with Scripture. Thank you.

Good quality thinking

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I enjoyed it and was stimulated in my thinking. It was well worth listening to.
If you want to think and are willing to examine things it is excellent.

What did you like best about this story?

Good depth of though and research has gone into this excellent work. It give good and not superficial answers and thinking.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Too much depth and information for listening to in one sitting. Just the same it is not a hard listen as it involves the listener challenging and encouraging one's thinking.

Changed Perspective!

After 16 years in the hospital with my youngest daughter, her whole life on this earth, I’ve questioned so many things. If God is in control who is to blame?
This incredible book has helped me look at her suffering in a different way.
My sweet baby faced multiple cancer diagnoses throughout her life from just four months old until sixteen years old, along with a heart transplant, several complications and toxicity related diagnoses, and a slew of treatment and surgeries. None of it fair for a beautiful innocent child. My courageous girl faced them all with grace.
I needed this book to help me absorb and better understand how this could be part of a perfect plan. Thank you for sharing this message of suffering and truth with me. Thank you for giving me hope and even excitement at my lowest point in this painful journey. My eternal perspective has changed and I am forever grateful as it’s what I needed to keep going.

God is Good!

As a follower of God, doing what is right in His eyes, we will suffer for his name sake in a dark world. But God will always make a way out for his people. And we will come out better than when we went in. God said that we would suffer; and He will never leave us. God gave us a Comforter, the Holy Spirit who will guild us throught the storms of life. I stand upon His Promises and I have found peace in the " Midst of Suffering and Evil." By faith and not by sight. God is on the Throne and He watches over us! Forgetting about yesterday and keeping our eyes on Jesus, we will have His Perfect Peace in the "Midst of suffering and evil".
