True to its name, Good God: Why God Allows Suffering demystifies the complexities of why a good God allows suffering. Through a thoughtful exploration of Scripture, this book offers a compassionate yet profound look at the reasons behind the temporary afflictions Believers face. As the Book of Job reminds us, "Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?" (Job 2:10 ESV). While suffering is an undeniable part of the human life, it does not negate God's goodness or love. Instead, Good God unveils the higher purposes and eternal perspectives that undergird the trials of this life. Drawing from the wisdom of the psalmist, who declared, "Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your Word" (Psalm 119:67 ESV), Kollin explains how suffering can refine our faith, strengthen our character, and deepen our dependence on the LORD. With a blend of Biblical insight and relatable stories, Good God: Why God Allows Suffering gives a compelling exploration of this timeless question, offering hope and solace to those grappling with the reality of suffering. Through the lens of God's Word, we are reminded "...that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us." (Romans 8:18 ESV). Whether you are currently facing trials or seeking to understand this profound mystery, Good God: Why God Allows Suffering is a must-read for anyone desiring to grow in their understanding of God's ways and His unwavering love for His children.
