A trustworthy Teacher.

Though delivered over sixty years ago at Westminster Chapel, London, still these sermons remain as fresh and as penetrating today as when they were first given. A trustworthy teacher and reliable guide in the most difficult areas of faith, Lloyd-Jones' commitment to biblical truth as well as his remarkable understanding of God's ways in the world renders him doubly qualified to address the question: "Why does God allow War?" In addition, the origin of these sermons in the tumult of World War II, together with the testimony of many who have been helped by the Doctor's honest facing up to the problems of sin, suffering, war and evil, converge to make this small work a source of proven help and far more than a recitation of pat answers. Encouraging and God-affirming, this booklet would be a fine addition to most collections addressing the problem of suffering and evil.

Short, simple, solid.

D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones does a good job explaining (biblically) why God allows suffering, and in particular why God allows war. This book was not written to answer sceptics, but rather to answer from scripture those who love God, and sincerely want to understand why God allows war.I thought this book did a great job answering the question.
