This work is a Theodicy, which deals with the issue of the good and all-powerful God temporarily allowing evil and suffering in the world. Among the topics of discussion are the following:

• Qualities of God
• Creation
• Freedom of Choice
• Evil
• Christ and the Cross
• Types and Purposes of Suffering
• Divine Intervention

A study such as this does not have all of the answers, but it enables growth in the knowledge of God and His ways. As a result, encouragement is provided in all situations as trust is put in the good, all-powerful God who delights to bless.
