No Bible thumping, no cute or warm stories, no inane pycho-babble. Nor is it for those who hate intellectualizing religion. This book is not for people who fear a questioning of their faith. This book is a journey into understanding the God who created us, loves us, and gave his Son to save us to the uttermost. Second, if God does truly love us, then why is there so much suffering? Does He lack the ability or the will to make things better for us, His creatures? Of course not, so why does He allow us to go on like this? Lewis takes a very interesting approach to show that the world is the way it is because it is the only possible way God could be who He is and love us the way He does and most important of all - reveal Him self to us. If our existence were not attributed to a loving creator, then no explanation for why there is pain would be necessary. It is not a book about pain but an explanation of first, why pain in the world, is a problem at all. Two things people are most likely to shun are problems and pain therefore this very precious book is perhaps overlooked by many. I think this book has a very unfortunate title.
