Where Is God in a World with So Much Evil?

By: Collin Hansen

Narrated by: Chris Fabry

Addressing Doubts about God's Justice and Goodness in the Face of Evil

In the face of evil and suffering, many people question God's goodness. Even faithful Christians may struggle to see God's justice when they experience the heartache, pain, and tragedies of our broken world. Why does God seem to remain silent when we need him the most?

Collin Hansen's short and accessible guide answers suffering peoples' questions about God's character by exploring the stories of Job, Jesus, and the Jewish people during the horrific events of the Holocaust. Ideal for both skeptics and Christians who want to help others in their pain, this booklet reminds us that God speaks through the cries of his people and offers us the gift of his Son—a suffering servant who makes all things new.

Beautifully concise on “Where is God…”

I’m a Mom who’s 27yo daughter went to sleep and woke up in Glory! This was a comfort to all my questions.

Uncompelling

The theological problem that this book tries to address is one of the most complicated in the Christian faith. I didnt find it to be particularly helpful or interesting. "The Problem of Pain" by C.S. Lewis is more philosophically interesting, though less based in scripture. "How Long O Lord" by D.A. Carson is more helpful, because it is more comprehensive and strongly rooted in scripture.
