Dive Into a Thorough Exploration of Today's Most Troubling Issue The reality of evil and suffering is not only our culture's biggest objection to faith in God, but also a piercing thrust into the soul of every believer at some point in their lives. Those facts compel us to prepare in order to handle the doubts and questions that roll over us like a storm tide whenever we confront the worst of pain, malice, and injustice. This study guide to Randy Alcorn's If God Is Good: Faith in the Midst of Suffering and Evil helps you gain perspective on suffering and God's unfailing goodness. Designed for both individual and group use, this guide is adaptable to whatever schedule and approach is most convenient for you--from a four-week overview, to an exploratory eight-week journey, to an intensive thirteen-week course. Included throughout are a variety of questions for reflection and discussion, plus book excerpts that capture the highlights and best insights from If God Is Good. In addition, a group leader's guide offers guidance for steering a group through any of the three approaches. Let this book be your guide as you face up to a seriously perplexing issue and the countless questions it keeps generating.
