Introduction -- why I wrote this book. 1 Why do the righteous suffer?. 2 The story of a man named Job. 3 Sometimes there is no reason. 4 No exceptions for nice people. 5 God leaves us room to be human. 6 God helps those who stop hurting themselves. 7 God can't do everything, but he can do some important things. 8 What good, then, is religion?
Abstract: '...I wanted to write a book that could be given to the person who has been hurt by life--by death, by illness or injury, by rejection or disappointment--and who knows in his heart that if there is justice in the world, he deserved better. What can God mean to such a person? Where can he turn for strength and hope?' -- Introduction
