For every person who has ever wept and wondered, “Why am I suffering?” Kreeft observes the endless, random, seemingly pointless pain which affects people and seeks to be our guide to understanding. Like Job, the author relates his wrestling match with God concerning suffering and brings us on his journey of understanding that the only way to win was to lose. Peter Kreeft, professor of philosophy at Boston College, is the author of such well-received books as Between Heaven and Hell, Making Choices, Socrates Meets Jesus.

You can purchase the book by ordering it at MorningStar Books and Gifts in Lombard, Barnes & Noble or at Borders or order online from any of the major online bookstores, like Amazon. It is also available through many Public Libraries.
