Christopher Morgan & Robert Peterson / Suffering and the Goodness of God

SUFFERING AND THE GOODNESS OF GOD
Christopher Morgan & Robert Peterson

DISCLAIMER: Not every book reviewed is necessarily endorsed (even those with high grades). Read with caution. For example: some fiction books contain foul language, some history books give graphic details of the violence of war, and some theology books contain views you may not agree with. So like I said: use caution. Think before, during, and after you read!

It also addresses what makes preaching effective and what must be avoided.
