This is an excellent book and well written. Believers and non-believers should read this book. Even if you do not believe, it opens up everyone's mind. It makes you think. There are explanations of past history that helps one to understand what they meant, what was really going on and what was stirring below the surface of these historical events. Also, when things go terribly wrong there is light to make us see and learn the truth of good versus evil. I recommend this book.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.

This was an excellent book on a difficult topic. The author offers faith-based answers to some of life' toughest questions. Some of these questions I had never thought about, but others I had. I appreciate how the author offers viewpoints from numerous scholars and philosophers and even points out the pros and cons to these arguments. The content in this book is deep, but not so deep as to be confusing or hard to follow. This isn't a book to blast through in one sitting; it will be most impactful if you allow yourself time to absorb it. It has deepened my understanding of my faith even more and has really made me think. I highly recommend this book if you're interested in understanding more about how it's possible for God and evil to co-exist. You won't get rote, Sunday School answers, but instead you'll get deeply thought-out answers that very well may open your eyes even more to the goodness of God.

I'd like to thank Blackstone Publishing for the opportunity to review this book.

This is such a difficult and complicated topic, and this book does the true complexity of the subject justice. A fascinating appraisal of the available philosophies and theories- it will take come concentration but definitely worth it.
