What about tornadoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDoesn’t God care about all the people who are suffering in the world?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Warren, Southwest USA Director of Youth With A Mission, says:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI love Mike’s passion to defend the Character of God and how he backs up every\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003esingle point with the Word of God. The fact that he does this, instead of simply giving his\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eown ideas or impressions, gives great authority to what he is saying.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo many young people, which is the bulk of those I work with, have grown up with\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003edeep misunderstandings and questions about God’s love when they see innocent people\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003esuffering. Very few of them have had any Biblically-based teaching on the subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI wish every single one of them could read this book!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDean Harvey, Pastor, Teacher, and Missionary with Youth With a Mission, observes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy Do The Innocent Suffer? is the most comprehensive discussion of this topic I\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ehave ever seen. Saia compares the various religious and philosophical reasons offered\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eto answer this question, then solves the problem with a thoroughly Biblical answer. We\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003emight summarize the message of the book as an answer to the question of Moses in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenesis 18:25, “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMike’s thorough exegesis of the book of Job is a highlight of the book, and would\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eserve every pastor and teacher very well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichael R.
