Book Recommendation: If God Is Good by Randy Alcorn

These next few set of posts are explicitly book recommendations from me to you. More specifically, these books are new ones that have either just come out or are coming out soon.

I think that one of the most commonly asked questions by Christians and non-Christians alike is the following: "How can a good and loving God allow evil and suffering in the world?" It's a legitimate question to ask by hurting people, and at times, it can be hard to reconcile God's goodness with the evil that permeates the world around us.

Randy Alcorn provided us all with a balanced and biblical answer to this question, all the while offering a way to have "faith in the midst of suffering and evil" in his newest book, If God Is Good: Faith in the Midst of Suffering and Evil. I have not read it yet, but plan on it ASAP. It comes highly recommended by numerous pastors and theologians whom I admire.

For more information on the book, you can read the table of contents and a few excerpts from the book here, read a couple of book reviews on it by Tim Challies and Tony Reinke, and even read an interview that Andy Naselli did with Mr. Alcorn himself.

If you struggle with the answer to this question, I can't recommend you read this book highly enough.
