Does God care about the sin and suffering in the world today? Why doesn't He bring an end to war and violence? Does God really answer prayer?

When our lives seem shattered by personal tragedy, is there any answer? Is there any place that we can turn to find hope and peace and true happiness whatever our circumstances? The ringing affirmation of this little book is that there is indeed an answer--an answer that is rooted in the reality of God Himself, and in what He has done and will do for those who know and love Him.

Written by Dr. Lloyd-Jones at the outbreak of the Second World War to a people on the brink of despair, it was first published under the title Why Does God Allow War? It's message, however, is universal and remarkably relevant today--as we seek to understand the crises of our own times, but just as much for helping those in the midst of personal tragedy and suffering.
