De ce?
De ce se intampla lucruri rele? Daca exista Dumnezeu, de ce nu face ceva? De ce tot eu?...
Dintre toate obstacolele in calea credintei, cu siguranta suferinta este cea mai insemnata. Distruge vieti si ne ridica tutor semne de intrebare.
Insa atunci intrebam „De ce?“, cui adresam aceasta intrebare? De unde vin cele mai satisfacatoare raspunsuri? Mai conteaza?
Sharon Dirckx intresete cu pricepere povestile lui Frances, Will, Grace, Charles si Rachel, care s-au confruntat cu unele dintre cele mai serioase provocari ale vietii, incluzandu-le in textul principal, care abordeaza la nivel practic toate intrebarile de tip „De ce?...“ pe care ni le punem cu privire la Dumnezeu si suferinta.
Ea concluzioneaza: „As vrea sa va arat ca in ciuda faptului ca nu putem intelege totul, inca este posibil sa credem intr-un Dumnezeu puternic, iubitor, recunoscand in acelasi timp realitatea raului si a suferintei. Nu doar atat, dar o privire asupra vietii din aceasta prespectiva ne ajuta sa intelegem mai mult, nu mai putin, lumea suferinda in care traim.

Good, easy read on the problem of suffering and evil. My favourite aspect of the book were the mini case studies of individuals who have suffered and who are suffering, and how their faith in Jesus strengthens them through their suffering and difficulties.
Underlying this book is a strong belief in human free will; as someone with a more Calvinist leaning, it was slightly disconcerting that Dirckx did not really address the issue of sovereignty. Further, I came to this book seeking answers to difficult questions that some of my agnostic/atheists friends will have, and I don’t yet feel I’ve found a satisfying answer from this book. In fact, I think I finished the book with more questions than answers!
Very well written, but I didn’t find it to be particularly helpful.

This appears to be a well written book, even if I skipped over some parts, and I’m sure committed Christians seeking answers to why there is so much suffering in the world will find it provides comfort. For the non-religious, and perhaps more doubting Christians, it does nothing to fill in the well known holes in attempts to address the Problem of Evil. She perhaps weakens her arguments further by making digs at other religions and atheism that are not well developed or deep enough to appear as anything other than feeble attempts to discredit alternative worldviews.

One of the best books I've read on the big Why? did this suffering happen to me. Well written and had a few ideas I hadn't come across before on the tricky topic of suffering.
