Suffering & Evil

Sooner or later we're all affected by suffering and evil—sometimes in horrible ways—and we often want to know why.


In this short book, Scott Petty guides us through the Old Testament story of Job—a man who suffered excruciating pain and grief without ever knowing why. On the way through, Scott deals with some of the common questions people have about suffering and evil:


» Why do bad things happen to Christians?

» Does God cause suffering?

» Is God in control of suffering and evil?


Like all the Little Black Books, this one gets straight to the point.
