| Summary: | A tragic, premature death is only one of a billion unexplained injustices in a world gone awry. "If this is the best you can do," some person hurled at God, "I'm not really sure I want to have anything to do with You!" Why do suffering and injustice take place in a world directed by a loving and all-powerful God? And especially why does it happen to those who have accepted His invitation to be his followers? It is a question that has destroyedthe faith of unknown multitudes. Many have either denied the existence of God or feared Him. Jerry Gladson explores the message of the book of Job and what it means to all who struggle with the issue of the relationship of suffering and a loving God. - 1. The Living Legacy of Job, 2.
