What I'm Reading...

"If abuse, rape, desertion, paralysis, debilitating disease, or the loss of a loved one has devastated you, then the issue of evil and suffering isn't merely theoretical, philosophical, or theological.  It's deeply personal.  Logical arguments won't satisfy you; in fact, they might offend you.  You need help with the emotional problem of evil, not merely the logical problem of evil.  Like children at times, each of us must struggle into our Father's arms, and there receive the comfort we need.  But remember this: you are a whole person.  Truth matters.  To touch us at the heart level - and to keep touching us over days, months, years, and decades - truth must work its way into our minds.  Never seek comfort by ignoring the truth...Deeply rooted beliefs - specifically a worldview grounded in Scripture - will allow you to persevere and hold on to a  faith built on the solid rock of God's truth." (Alcorn, 90 Days of God's Goodness, p. 12)
