THE ONE BIG QUESTION
The God of love in a world of suffering
By Michael Baughen. CWR. 144 pages. £7.99
ISBN 978 1 853 455 728

Michael Baughen approaches the problem of suffering in a warmly pastoral way, rather than attempting to provide an apologetic.

He begins with the gospel, the cross reminds us that God is with us in our suffering. He also points to the future, to the ‘day of God’ when we will have resurrection bodies. He says: ‘In the memorable words from Narnia, the term will be over and the holidays will have begun’ (p.57).
