Inhaltsangabe

The dilemma of pain and suffering has always been a subject of discussion for theologians, philosophers and ordinary people. This dilemma becomes more complicated when it is related to God’s holiness, love and mercy. Many questions come to mind when we face pain and suffering. We even become frustrated with God himself as we ask him “Why?” and “How long?”This book, that was born out of the so-called “Arab spring” particularly the Syrian crisis, addresses these and other questions from the perspective of an ancient prophet called Habakkuk. Will we be able to find the right answers? Will God respond? This is what you will discover as you read this book. But I must caution you that it is not an easy one.
