If God Is Good: Faith in the Midst of Suffering and Evil Audiobook

" I didn't finish this book because it had to go back to the library, though I went quite a bit of the way through it. It gets into some heavy stuff and is basically a Biblical apologetic for suffering. Good, logical and thought out. On the other hand, I have found that people who are upset with God, especially in the area of suffering, usually have heart issues, not logic issues and need to actually feel and know that He loves them and is good. Logic will probably not reach the heart. Neverthless, it is a good book. There is some heavy stuff in it as far as the nature of evil and I had to do some praying and rejecting of thoughts afterwards becasue of some specific stories he shared to "think on right things" Phil 4:8. "

" Learning lots about surgery and medical science. Good story so far. "

" It was good but I had a hard time staying engaged. "

" excellent reference, takes time to digest "

" A good basic approach to the biblical teaching of suffering. Only draw back would be its redundancy. "

" Delves into the really hard questions of life and delivers well thought out insights. A must read for everyone!! "

" What a wonderful book. Fontina cheese! "

" Very informative book. Alcorn breaks down each section and goes in depth for each point made. Though I felt some sections could've been combined, I felt he did good in covering the topics. Good information on suffering and evil. "

" Great book! Alcorn speaks right to the common man in this book. Great illustrative material for pastors. "

" Life is hard, God is good. In light of that how do I live my life? Alcorn's book is long but it's so good that I plowed through most of it. I haven't seen anything as comprehensive and readable on this subject as this book. Definitely worth reading. "

" I ended up mostly skimming through as it summarizes and restates the same old arguments. Evil and suffering exist as part of a bigger plan we just don't understand, and there is a better world out there somewhere. This can be comforting but still leaves me dissatisfied. "

" Really great book about the problem of evil in the world. Very thorough and insightful and compassionate. "

" It is interesting to compare this book with Keller 's Reason for God. Both try to address the problem of evil, both come to the same conclusions, Reason for God is probably better written, this book is longer and contains more scripture. "
