If God Is Good, Why Is the World So Bad?

Used Book in Good Condition

In these troubled times, people are asking very difficult questions about God and their faith:

If I suffer, does that mean I deserve it?
Why do innocent people, especially children, die tragically?
How can God be so cruel?
Does God ever intervene during times of trouble?
Who really runs the world-God or man?
Do my prayers do any good?
Why does God allow sickness, torture and evil to exist?

Benjamin Blech admits, the answers are not simple. There is no one-size-fits-all explanation. Indeed, not only are there many answers, but in different situations several explanations may apply. Blech wrote this book as an intellectual analysis of Jewish wisdom on the subject of suffering. His theories are the fruit of thousands of years of debate, examination and struggle. Jewish wisdom teaches that there are rich and inspiring answers to the ultimate question: If God is good, why is the world so bad?

Take part in the most important spiritual journey of all-the quest for serenity in the face of adversity-and discover that in the accumulated wisdom of the ages lies a time-tested solution for turning despair into hope and sorrow into faith.
