Synopsis:

If God is all powerful and all loving, why do innocent people suffer? This question is the principle reason why many claim they cannot believe in God. Suffering is intensely personal, exposing our vulnerability and making us fearful. It is the prime motivation for prayer and when those prayers go unanswered we feel betrayed. In this book, the author John Harries explores our dilemma through the experience of Job, whose struggle to find an explanation for his suffering has been specifically recorded to answer our deepest questions. The revelations Job receives from God form the most complete and profound teaching on suffering ever written. John Harries explores the close parallels between Job's story and the life of Jesus, further showing that Job anticipates Christ and foresees in him our salvation. He argues that through Job, believers encounter Christ in his passion and discover afresh the gospel of redemption. He offers a pastorally relevant explanation for righteous suffering, encouraging a deeper awareness of God's presence, a growing confidence in sharing our faith and a greater understanding of how to respond biblically to those who question why a loving God should allow suffering.

About the Author: John Harries is currently an Anglican minister at St. John's Church, Higher Walton in the diocese of Chester and school chaplain of Sir Thomas Boteler C/E School in Warrington. He served his curacy at St. George's Hyde during the time of Dr. Harold Shipman, who was believed to be responsible for the murder of over two hundred people from his practices in Hyde and Todmorden. He supported parishioners through an extremely distressing and bewildering time as the events unfolded, from Shipman's arrest to his subsequent conviction for murdering fifteen of his patients. He gave evidence during the trial and following the sentencing gave numerous media interviews and hosted the memorial service for the victim's families. In 2008, he pioneered the Archbishop of York Award, encouraging young people to live out their Christian faith. This has now been introduced in a number of secondary schools throughout the North of England as a Young Leaders Award. Prior to entering the ministry, he was a senior scientific officer working at the Daresbury Research Facility in Cheshire, following a doctorate in biophysics from Bristol University. Born in London, he is fifty-four years old and married to Judith with three daughters, Becky, Millie, and Abi.
