    Summary note
    "This book proposes a narrative of life within which one might understand suffering in relation to a personal God of ultimate power and love. It seeks to interpret suffering within a fundamentally compassionate and redemptive understanding of the Christian God. It explores various themes of theodicy - theology that defends God in the face of evil - creatively developing a distinction between transformative and destructive suffering."--BOOK JACKET.
