The Problem of Pain

By: C. S. Lewis

Narrated by: Simon Vance

For centuries Christians have been tormented by one question above all, "If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain?"

C.S. Lewis sets out to disentangle this knotty issue, but wisely adds that in the end no intellectual solution can dispense with the necessity for patience and courage.

Profound discussion of the source, purpose, problem and ultimate extinguishing of all pain. May we see the divine that surrounds us in our pain.

encouraging and grounding. I've heard it over and over again with new insights pertaining to immediate problems of the moment

Philosophical in its time, relevant today.

Super interesting to listen to. I loved the narrator. The the ideas and thoughts are still relevant today.

Pure Brillance

The first time I tried to read this book I was overwhelmed by his writing style. I quit and put it on the shelf. so I picked it up recently and it is amazing . Do not give up on this boom or any of his others. They are sheer genius.

The Problem with Pain

The writing of Lewis is a dance of pure grounded logic with utter beauty of emotion. Both sides of your brain become engaged with his style. If you aren’t used to this style, it will exhaust you. And once you digest it enough, it flows. Pain is a wonderfully, painful side of life. This book brought, not just a peace to what I’m going through, but a joy.
