Poole addresses this issue from a Christian perspective, discussing how human free will, the fallen state of the world, and the mystery of God's sovereignty contribute to the existence of pain and evil. He emphasizes that while suffering is painful, it can have a purpose, such as spiritual growth and character development. Poole encourages readers to trust in God's ultimate plan for redemption, despite the presence of suffering, and assures them that God is present with them in their pain.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Garry Poole</note> <note>Eng</note> <subject> <topic>Christian Life -- Spiritual formation</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Suffering from God</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>God's Will</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Suffering Biblical teaching</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">231.8</classification> <classification authority="ddc">P822-G24</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780310245056</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15865/sufferinga.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15865/sufferinga.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071529.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
