In one of the most honest and searching books ever written on the problem of pain, philosopher Peter Kreeft walks alongside the reader through the darkest corridors of human experience. Making Sense Out of Suffering is not a detached academic treatise: it is a personal quest, drawing on Scripture, philosophy, literature, and the lives of the saints to illuminate why a loving God permits suffering. Kreeft writes for empty hearts, not full ones, offering not easy answers but genuine wisdom for those who have wept and wondered, "Why?"
