Why Does God Let Bad Things Happen? (Big Questions)

“When pain and disappointment hit hard, even young hearts seek to understand why. Chris Morphew has responded to the age-old question in his excellent little book This small but powerful volume certainly would have helped me when I broke my neck at an early age­—I was desperate to make sense of it all as I searched the Bible for answers. Thankfully, Morphew’s book addresses the tough topic about God’s goodness in a world of great suffering, and he does it in a winsome, easy-to-read way. Yes, it’s for young people, but I’m recommending it to people of all ages—and I commend this remarkable book to you!”

“Suffering, sickness, betrayal, racism, war—all make us ask, ‘Why is our world so broken?’ Chris Morphew gives us gospel responses—not just to answer the questions in our heads but to address the issues in our hearts.”

“Chris is the teacher you wish you had. He gets where you’re coming from and takes your questions—and you—seriously. If this is your question, or if you just want to know more about God and the meaning of life, this is the book for you.”

“Recently, I asked my daughter what has helped her through her questions about the truthfulness of Christianity. Without missing a beat, she pointed to The Big Questions Series. Chris Morphew does an incredible job presenting key ideas in apologetics and Christian discipleship (think Josh MacDowell, C.S. Lewis, and Tim Keller) to young readers. These books are engaging, relevant, and pastoral–and I know they will strengthen the faith of many young people. They already have in my home!”
