"If God is Good", by Randy Alcorn

This is a book every library should have on its shelves.  This is a GREAT reference book when you are going through difficult times (or are counseling someone going through difficult times). 

(Excerpt from the back cover): "In such difficult times, suffering and evil beg questions about God - Why would an all-good and all-powerful God create a world full of evil and suffering?  And then, how can there be a God if suffering and evil exist? ... Randy Alcorn challenges the logic of disbelief and brings a fresh, realistic, and thoroughly biblical perspective to the issues these important questions raise... Alcorn delves deep into a profound subject, and through compelling stories, provocative questions and answers, and keen biblical understanding, he brings assurance and hope to all."

This book is thoroughly researched, and Alcorn continually takes the reader back to the truths of Scripture as he addresses the issue of suffering and evil in the face of an all-loving God.  If you find yourself questioning the existence of God, grab a copy of this book from Multnomah Books at your local bookseller, and read for yourself the proof that God is good and that He does exist.
