Suffering and the Love of God – by Roger Forster

Suffering and the Love of God

by Roger Forster

• Why do bad things happen to good people?
• How can God allow suffering in his creation?

In Suffering and the Love of God Roger Forster takes a fresh and radical look at the book of Job and shows that it is not just a tale of suffering, but a powerful insight into the strength and endurance of God’s love for us.

In an increasingly depersonalised and uncertain world we are daily faced with an onslaught of both natural and man-made disasters and it is now more relevant than ever for us to understand and live in the Love of God.

In this book Roger Forster challenges us to try to be more like Job in the ways we relate to God through worship during our suffering and unravels the mystery of where we find God through Christ when we are suffering.

Endorsements

From the foreword by Revd Dr Herbert B McGonigle, Senior Lecturer, Nazarene Theological College:

I warmly recommend this fine exposition of the book of Job and its very practical and down-to-earth day-to-day application. Roger Forster writes with conviction, with clarity, with passion and always with relevance. Theologically sound, exegetically enlightening and well illustrated from Scripture, this book will prove to be particularly helpful in the ministry of pastoral counselling.

Amazon review by Stephen Redman:

As ever Roger Forster’s work is powerfully conceived, brilliantly thought out and delivered in a way that is easily readable for the non-academic, yet is theologically deep for anyone researching Job, suffering or theodicy. Forster grasps nettles, wrestles the elephant in the room to the floor and fearlessly faces the issues with learning, passion and sound theology.

Forster is a great thinker and will make you ask why others have not been able to deal with the questions that Job raises, lifting you beyond failed theologies to a genuine engagement with scripture and the issues it raises. If you have questions about suffering, please read this – it will really help settle things for you!
