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?" Is there justice or wisdom to be won by suffering, or some reward beyond understanding? And what of the suffering of animals, which neither deserve pain nor can be improved by it? Is the quantity and variety of suffering in the world inconsistent with, or evidence against, an omnipotent and perfectly loving God? The greatest Christian thinker of all time sets out to disentangle this knotty issue. With his signature wealth of compassion and insight, C. S. Lewis offers answers to these crucial questions and shares his hope and wisdom to help heal a world hungering for a true understanding of human nature, free will, and the will of the Divine.

Incredible
"If there is a God, then why is there so much pain in this world? Explain that one!" Well -- C. S. Lewis does exactly that, leaving one with a different perspective completely. Excellent.

Great Addition To Library
C.S Lewis did a great job in tackling this difficult problem. There are numerous Biblical passages within the book. This is a must have for your library. No matter who are, this is a question everyone will consider.
