Every thinking Christian has to answer the very difficult question: Where is God when it hurts? Or more to the point: Why would a loving God allow pain and suffering? These questions have echoed down through the ages with few satisfying answers, and atheists often use the question as a kind of trump card to dispel faith. But Yancy takes on the question with surprising frankness. There are no glib platitudes here, but rather a deep and thoughtful look into problem and possible clues into a better understanding of the factors involved. No, Virginia, there is no quick and easy answer to the question of pain, but there is a kind of satisfaction that can be found in a better understanding of the problem and a bit more faith in the God who allows it.
