Product Details
Peter Kreeft presents a philosophical and spiritual exploration of the mystery of pain and suffering, offering insights for those seeking meaning in hardship through personal reflection and Christian theology. It is an insightful guide for those who have experienced seemingly pointless suffering, combining personal experience with wisdom to address the “why” question from a faith-based perspective.
This account of a real and honest personal quest on the meaning of suffering is both engaging and convincing. Written from a deep well of wisdom derived from experience and careful observation, Making Sense Out of Suffering is a book for all who are hungry for insight into the great mystery of suffering.

“A book of great clarity and comfort, and one that really makes a difference. This gives the real answer to the question why bad things happen to good people.”

—William Kirk Kilpatrick, Author, Psychological Seduction
“Peter Kreeft takes up the unanswerable and with lucid and vigorous prose he carries us inexorably to the stunning answer.”
—Elisabeth Elliot, Author, Suffering is Never for Nothing
“Kreeft tackles the hardest subject in the world, the tears and groans of mankind . . . He is all that a guide should be, asking us to use our own eyes, our own discernment. Having made the journey with our guide myself, I can say that it is a journey well worth making.”
—Sheldon Vanauken, Author, A Severe Mercy and Under the Mercy
