New father John Dow eased the hospital recovery-room door shut and happily started down the hall to find his wife's parents. Suddenly the corridor erupted into bedlam. Physicians, nurses, and orderlies scurried for the recovery room. John dashed back. "No! Not Janet!" he denied feverishly. "You need to wait here," interrupted a nurse, suddenly looming in the doorway. Two long hours agonized by. Abruptly the sounds of frenzied activity inside grew suspiciously silent, and the doctor appeared. "We've done all we could," he spoke softly. "We just don't understand what happened." The new mother had suffered a massive embolism, leaving behind a tiny infant son and a puzzled, distraught young father.
Janet Dow's tragic, premature death is only one of a billion unexplained injustices in a world gone awry. "If this is the best you can do," John hurled at God, "I'm not really sure I want to have anything to do with You!" Why do suffering and injustice take place in a world directed by a loving and all-powerful God? And especially why does it happen to those who have accepted His invitation to be his followers? It is a question that has destroyed the faith of unknown multitudes. Many have either denied the existence of God or feared Him. Jerry Gladson explores the message of the book of Job and what it means to all who struggle with the issue of the relationship of suffering and a loving God.
