Personal Christian testimony & inspirational works

Now with a new introduction from the author, If God Is Good by Randy Alcorn addresses the personal issues of difficult circumstances, tragic events, and the presence of evil that all people wrestle with in their daily lives. A great companion to his best-seller Heaven, If God Is Good travels well alongside the successful The Reason for God by Tim Keller and as a cogent opposition to the New Atheism books that populate the best-seller lists. If God Is Good explores what the Bible says about suffering and offers hope to readers in the form of God's ultimate purpose and love.

Suffering is, in the end, God's invitation to trust him.

""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."" -Publishers WeeklyEvery one of us will experience suffering. You may be in such a time now. We see the presence of evil in the headlines every day.

It all raises questions about God-Why would an all-good and all-powerful God create a world full of evil and suffering? How can there be a God if suffering and evil exist?

Atheists such as Richard Dawkins and even former believers like Bart Ehrman answer the question simply- The existence of suffering and evil proves there is no God.

But in this illuminating book, best-selling author Randy Alcorn challenges the logic of disbelief, and brings a fresh, hopeful, 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 shows the beauty of God's sovereignty-how it ultimately triumphs over suffering and evil in our lives and the world around us.
