There are no simple answers. But there is hope. For, claims author Jim McGuiggan, suffering may in fact be the last thing we expect-an expression of God's wrath, which in turn is nothing other than his relentless, loving pursuit of us. If this is true, then suffering is a vital part of God's work to redeem his creation. Give this claim a hearing, and you just might see the suffering world in a new way-a world shot through with glory and hope and assurance.
