Why Good Things Happen to Bad People: A Fallen World and a Faithful Promise

Genuine comfort and true hope for those who are suffering

In a world filled with pain and suffering, we all have to face, to a lesser or greater degree, the reality of suffering, especially if we believe in a divine being. If God is all-loving and all-powerful, why is there so much suffering?

This book was triggered by Harold Kushner’s inspirational bestseller, When Bad Things Happen to Good People. While his book has provided much comfort to millions, the main question is: has he provided genuine comfort and true hope, or is it unfounded comfort and hope? That is a vital question.

Why Good Things Happen to Bad People is a biblical response to suffering in a fallen world. From the moment sin, sorrow, and suffering entered this world, God has given an unfailing promise that is able to pull us through, no matter what. We are to wholly bank on the reality of His promise.

Whether you are currently going through suffering or want to be adequately prepared, this book will give you handles to hold on to when the bottom drops out.
