If Only I Were God One Man’s Solution to the Problem of Pain and Suffering
by Frank M. Fanella
I f God exists, why does He allow so much pain and suffering?It is a question at the center of many arguments against the existence of God and a conundrum that stumps even the most devout worshipers. What do we make of pain and suffering? What does it cost us? What is its value? How can an all-loving God allow for world catastrophe, grave illness, and devastating carnage?Based on logic and grounded in hope, If Only I Were God presents a unique, original and compel- ling literary work utilizing the common ex- periences of life, the latest pronouncements of science, touching stories of ordinary indi- viduals, remarkable historical events, and the thoughts of many respected writers.If Only I Were God offers a solution to the great dilem- ma of pain and suffering - the suffering of the innocents in the presence of an acquiescent God. A penetrating, logical analysis of God’s creation reveals the startling truth about God’s design, purpose and dilemma in the creation of humanity. It is also our call to understand and respond. Chapter by chapter, If Only I Were God forges each vital link in the chain of understanding until, at last, the complete and powerful images of hope, truth, transcendence and triumph blaze before us.
