As I look back on my first real book, I shudder that I had the audacity to tackle one of the most daunting theological questions, the problem of pain, in my late twenties.

Yet suffering was one of the impediments to my faith, and it poses questions that confront all of us at some point.  This was a book I could not not write.  Thirteen years after its initial publication, I went back and revised it in view of all I had learned since.

I have heard from hundreds of readers since then and it astonishes me that even now sincere Christians spread guilt and confusion instead of comfort when tragedy strikes.  I hope this book sounds a different note, presenting “a God of all comfort,” in Paul’s phrase.
