If God is So Good, Why are Things so Bad?

Author Melvin Tinker ISBN 9781783972357 Pages 160 As Tim Chester says in the Foreword:Melvin Tinker invites us to walk with Job through the confusion sufferings create. If God is so good why are things so Bad is like a guidebook, helping us navigate through unfamiliar territory. It is a book for all those who suffer. Don't worry, you will not be offered glib platitudes or quick fixes. Here is a context in which you can express your pain honestly. But here, too, is a context in which your questions are brought to God rather them leading you away from God. What we are offered in this book is not so much a theory or a solution, but God himself. "Melvin Tinker writes with a theologian's mind, a Biblical scholar's attention to detail and a pastor's heart to minister. Using real life stories, he puts the book of Job under life's microscope to find practical insights that help us in times of suffering."
