Suffering is a universal experience in the world. Physical or spiritual, it affects young and old alike, often without apparent logic. How can we explain the presence of such suffocating and despairing evil? How can we reconcile the existence of a good and omnipotent God with the suffering of the innocent? Where is He when a child suffers? Is there a god of evil who opposes the God of good? Do faith and prayer protect us from the tragedy of suffering? Why is faith rewarded in some cases and not in others? These are many questions that every human being and every believer asks sooner or later. The author makes the bold and difficult attempt to answer them with the help of the Bible, the book to which Jews, Catholics, and Protestants refer. In the end, we discover with him that God "is capable of making himself loved for who he is and not for what he offers."
