Why does a good God allow innocent suffering? Why does a just God
act unfairly? Why does a sovereign God let disease and evil run
rampant? These are not questions asked from the onlooker's
armchair, nor from the academic's desk, but from the anguish of the
sickbed and the frustration of the wheelchair: The problem of pain
is considered with the heart as well as the head. In Out of the
Storm: Grappling With God in the Book of Job, Christopher Ash leads
us through the biblical story of Job as we wrestle with these
questions today. He explores honestly the lonely and cruel nature
of suffering and whether or not God can be found in the midst of
it. He exposes the shortcomings of Job's friends, who deny the
possibility of innocent suffering and are unaware of the roles that
evil, the fall and the cross have to play. With compassion and
clarity he takes the reader through Job's long debate with God
towards a humbling-and hopeful-resolution. Christopher Ash is
Principal of the Cornhill Training Course in London, a teaching
ministry of the Proclamation Trust . He is married to Carolyn and
they have four children.

This book is really great and an invaluable aid in my Christian walk. Christopher Ash tackles normally difficult questions about God head on. Wish I had found it sooner.
