If God is So Good, Why are Things so Bad?

Product Description

Author Melvin Tinker

ISBN 9781783972357

Pages 160

As Tim Chester says in the Foreword:
Melvin Tinker invites us to walk with Job through the confusion sufferings create. If God is so good why are things so Bad is like a guidebook, helping us navigate through unfamiliar territory.

It is a book for all those who suffer. Don't worry, you will not be offered glib platitudes or quick fixes. Here is a context in which you can express your pain honestly. But here, too, is a context in which your questions are brought to God rather them leading you away from God. What we are offered in this book is not so much a theory or a solution, but God himself.

"Melvin Tinker writes with a theologian's mind, a Biblical scholar's attention to detail and a pastor's heart to minister. Using real life stories, he puts the book of Job under life's microscope to find practical insights that help us in times of suffering."

Mark Lanier: Author of Christianity on Trial

Melvin Tinker is Vicar of St John Newland, Hull, where he has served since 1994. He is the author of numerous books and articles, including That Hideous Strength: How the West was Lost (EP Books, 2018).
