Review # 1 was written on 2009-10-16 00:00:00 James V Cusenza I have read all of Randy Alcorn's book and must rate this as one of his top ones. Since I received it from the publisher, I wanted to read it in a timely fashion and then review it. As I started out, I found myself taking notes - then I just decided to plunge right into it and tag or highlight sections that I wanted to go back to! Each chapter takes you into a different question about the attributes of God and questions most people have (but might not admit to have). I found certain sections of the book painful to read - because they touched some of my own deep emotions. The period of time that we are currently living in is rife with suffering and what many of us recognize as evil. I have always believed that we personally go through suffering and bad times so that we may be able to use what we learned and felt to help someone else going through the same sort of thing. For a person seeking a relationship with God, this book offers a very structured question/answer type of format. It may be a little deep for some; however, I would definitely recommend it to anu believer - there are many times we need to be reminded of the part we play in suffering and evil in addition to why we need God during these times.
