"There's no one-size-fits-all solution to the problem of evil and suffering. How could a good God allow such bad things in a world he created? The answer depends on which part of the Bible we read. Indeed, there are different strategies within the Scriptures that deal with the complex problem of evil and suffering. That's the genius of Brian Gregg's approach to the question, what does the Bible say about suffering? He lets the voices within Scripture speak to the problem without treating the Bible as an answer book that solves every riddle."

"In his remarkable overview of the Bible's teaching about suffering, Brian Han Gregg emphasizes the variety in the Bible's responses to this topic. This is coupled with a warning against getting fixated on one or two of these approaches, which may not be the ones that best provide insight and healing in a specific situation. A rich resource for those who struggle with suffering in their own lives and the lives of others."

"Brian Gregg brings the insights of a biblical scholar to the experience of suffering in ways that speak to mind and heart alike. His sensitive reading of the Bible shows that it has a variety of things to say about life's greatest challenge, and each has important things to teach us. Even though no single view fits everyone's experience and suffering is always mysterious, there is one thing we can know for sure—God is always with us, always working for good."

"In this remarkable book, Brian Gregg explores the mystery of suffering with the mind of a biblical scholar and the heart of a pastor and teacher. The result is a thoroughly scriptural and truly pastoral approach to the problem of pain. As Gregg shows, the Bible doesn't have just one answer to the question of suffering—but it does have answers. This book needs to be read by every pastor, every teacher, and every person interested in learning how to trust God with the answers he gives as well as the questions that remain."

"Brian Gregg takes up the question of suffering with a full realization that Scripture provides not one but numerous ways of addressing this perennial issue. Examining each of these ways with insight and sensitivity, this book does not attempt an abstract philosophical answer to suffering but a way forward in its wake, a way that is marked by both biblical faithfulness and pastoral sensitivity. Such an approach will be appreciated by many."
