"If you are looking for one book to make sense of the problem of evil, this book is for you."
Sean McDowell
Grasping This Truth Will
Change Your View of God Forever
If God is good and all-powerful, why doesn't He put a stop to the evil in this world? Christians and non-Christians alike struggle with the concept of a loving God who allows widespread suffering in this life and never-ending punishment in hell. We wrestle with questions such as...
Why do bad things happen to good people?Why should we have to pay for Adam's sin?How can eternal judgment be fair?
But what if the real problem doesn't start with God...but with us?
Clay Jones, an associate professor of Christian apologetics at Biola University, examines what Scripture truly says about the nature of evil and why God allows it. Along the way, he'll help you discover the contrasting abundance of God's grace, the overwhelming joy of heaven, and the extraordinary destiny of believers.

Gut punch & tears of joy
The first half of this book was the darkest, eye opening gut punch. The reality of who we are and what we do, as humans, is just painfully and depressingly bleak.
The second half of the book had the happiest tears rolling down my smiling face. My heart is full of joy, and gratitude, and hope. I think this is a must read for all Christians. I’ve read a lot of theology and this book answers this question, and quite a few other ones that skeptics often have, in a way that feels complete, sincere, well researched and presented. All the stars!!! Thank you Clay & thank you Frank Turek for spotlighting the author and this book.
Thoughtful and Complete
This has become one of my favorite books, as I have bought multiple copies to give to friends of mine. Now that I want to read it through a second time, I’m looking to get one of my copies back!
Clay Jones is actually referenced by a number of other apologists today. Well-respected, he certainly deserves this position of being a go-to resource on apologetics. He’s presented a number of things I have never thought about, as well as answered some of my tough, previously unanswered questions.
This book also opened my eyes to the depravity of mankind, and how we are all capable of great evil, whether we act it out or not. This book will challenge you, and hopefully open your eyes as well to the fact that all of humanity needs the salvation that only Jesus offers. It has changed the way I see people and salvation.
Get this book and read it! You cannot be disappointed.
