Why Do I Personally Experience Evil and Suffering?
When Life Falls Apart, Where Do You Turn for Answers?

In a world where depression rates are skyrocketing despite unprecedented material abundance, pastor and scholar Gabriel N. E. Fluhrer tackles the most personal question we all face: Why do I suffer? This isn't another philosophical treatise on the problem of evil—it's a deeply practical guide for anyone wrestling with depression, anxiety, chronic illness, abuse, poverty, or loss.

Drawing from his nearly twenty years of pastoral experience and rigorous theological training, Fluhrer demonstrates why the Bible's answers to suffering stand apart from every other worldview. Unlike the hollow promises of escapism or the cold comfort of naturalism, Scripture offers a sovereign God who doesn't merely sympathize with our pain—He entered it through Jesus Christ.

Through compelling real-life stories, from missionary Helen Roseveare's extraordinary faith amid horrific violence to athlete Greg LeMond's journey through childhood trauma, readers discover that suffering can actually become a pathway to deeper joy and unshakeable hope.

This book doesn't promise quick fixes or prosperity theology. Instead, it offers something far better: the biblical truth that our trials have meaning, our God is good, and our suffering will end. Perfect for anyone seeking genuine hope in life's darkest moments.
