Celebrating the Wrath of God: Reflections on the Agony and the Ecstasy of His Relentless Love

Is There a Purpose to Suffering And Loss? We only have to live to see or experience how agonizing life can be. We are surrounded by child abuse and neglect, starving families, premature deaths of those we love, natural disasters and global disease. How could a God worthy of respect and worship allow such a world to exist?

There are no simple answers. But there is hope. For, claims author Jim McGuiggan, suffering may in fact be the last thing we expectan expression of Gods wrath, which in turn is nothing other than his relentless, loving pursuit of us. If this is true, then suffering is a vital part of Gods work to redeem his creation. Give this claim a hearing, and you just might see the suffering world in a new waya world shot through with glory and hope and assurance.
