"God whispers in our pleasures but shouts in our pains. Pain is His megaphone to rouse a dulled world." C.S. Lewis
By the time you finish reading this book, many people will have died violent deaths, many others will have suffered the ravages of a terminal illness, and thousands of innocent children will have been abused by their parents. And it is not only innocent children and others like them who suffer but also you and I. This book is for anyone who has ever wept and wondered, "Why?"
Peter Kreeft observes that our world is full of billions of normal lives which have been touched by apparently pointless and random suffering. He then records the results of his own wrestling match with God as he struggles to make sense out of this pain and suffering.
This account of a real and honest personal quest is both engaging and convincing. It delights as well as informs, much in the style of C.S. Lewis. Written from a deep well of wisdom derived from experience and careful observation, Making Sense Out of Suffering is a book for empty hearts, not full ones. Read it if you are hungry for insight into the mystery of suffering.
Peter Kreeft, professor of philosophy at Boston College, is the author of such well-received books as Between Heaven and Hell; The Unaborted Socrates; Yes or No?: Straight Answers to Tough Questions about Christianity, Heaven: The Heart's Deepest Longing; and Prayer: The Great Conversation
