Why must we suffer? Gregory Knox Jones tackles this enduring issue with clarity and intelligence, offering hope to anyone who is struggling with the pain and confusion, unjust suffering. Dr. Jones recounts the life stories he has seen in his work as a pastor: parents losing their child in a car, accident, a runner coping with the amputation of a leg. Every day good people suffer, raising the question: Why is this so, if there is a just all powerful God? The response that God works in mysterious ways that are beyond human understanding simply isn’t adequate in the face of such profound suffering. The wisdom that Dr. Jones gained in more than 20 years in the parish enabled him to lead people through the most difficult circumstances to healing and new hope.
