Dr. Peter Kreeft believes that the best argument against God’s existence is the problem of pain, and in today’s episode he provides spiritual insights into this mystery. Get Your Copy of “Making Sense Out Suffering” here (Book Releases 3/20): https://ignatius.com/making-sense-out-of-suffering-msosp/?searchid=0&search_query=making+sense+of+suffering Suffering afflicts us all; whether you are suffering now or will experience great suffering in the future. Naturally, suffering causes us to question God’s love, His providence, and even His existence. But suffering must not cause us to reject God; instead we must wrestle with Him and ultimately unite ourselves with Him. Dr. Peter Kreeft beautifully illustrates this process of wrestling with God in this episode and in his book “Making Sense of Suffering.” Written when he himself was going through great suffering, Dr. Kreeft blends personal experience, spiritual wisdom, and philosophical perspective to reveal the truly Catholic approach to suffering. This book is not written on the mountain top as one who no longer suffers or has all the answers, but from one in the valley of tears who encourages his fellow Christian to look to the Heavens. We highly recommend this book and conversation for all who experience great pain, sadness, or suffering. It will be a true consolation but also a challenge as we place all our trust and hope in God.
