If I were God, I'd End All the Pain
Book
Why does God allow suffering? If God is all powerful and loving why is there so much pain in the world? In this short book John Dickson looks at what the world says about suffering before turning to the Bible to see what it says about God, justice and suffering.
If I were God, I'd End All the Pain is a sensitive and biblically informed treatment of the problem of suffering. If God loves me, why does He allow me to feel lonely, hurt or afraid? There are no easy answers to the question of suffering and we are not served by glib responses to very real and troubling issues.
If I were God, I'd End All the Pain is well suited for Biblical Studies classes and other contexts where the important issue of suffering must come up.
