‘Why?’ is an engaging read that asks the universal question – why do bad things happen? – and answers them with compelling arguments and real-life stories.
• Why does God allow his creation to suffer?
• Does God even care?
• Can you be a practicing Christian, living in the paradox of believing in a loving God whilst experiencing personal suffering?
The inside of this book is both intellectually profound and comfortingly written. When the tsunami of suffering and tragedy hits your life, its human nature to question our existence, purpose and creation. Why not steer your broken heart, or a friend’s, towards these words which will challenge your thinking and soothe your soul.

'Written with the heart of a mother as well as the mind of a scientist, Why? is not only profound, but tender and comforting. This book is not just about suffering, but written by one who knows suffering to others who are suffering themselves.'- Os Guinness
'When I was 16, my sports career was called into question when I was run over by a speed boat and got caught in the propellers. Sharon
Suffering and tragedy can cause us all to ask 'Why?'
• Why do bad things happen?
• If God exists, why doesn’t he do something?
• Why am I being singled out?
Of all the hurdles to faith, surely suffering must be the greatest. It tears lives apart and raises questions for us all.
But when we ask ‘why?, to whom are we addressing our question? Where do the most satisfying answers come from?Does it matter?
Sharon Dirckx unpacks our questions sensitively and wisely, weaving her arguments with real-life stories of anguish and pain
She concludes, ‘I would like to show you that, even though we don’t understand everything, it is still possible to believe in a powerful, loving God and acknowledge the reality of evil and suffering. Not only that, but seeing life from this perspective helps us make more, not less, sense of our hurting world.’
While we may never have all the answers, it does not mean that there are no answers at all.
