Book excerpt: The reality of good and evil has become a conundrum of unscriptural notions that have evolved over many years and appeal to most Christians. Therefore, this book re-explores the question of who is responsible for the creation of evil in the first place and its purposes. Of course, some say Satan is responsible. Others say sin. Many cite human free will. A few say pre-creation chaos. Others admit they don't know; it's a mystery. But some say God. Most agree that God allows, permits, and even uses evil in our world. But is He responsible for more than that? Today, all over the world, people are suffering from evil, even horrendous evil. The two traditional and persistent questions are: Why is this so? and Where is God in all this? In this book, you will discover better answers and more scriptural and historical explanations than you've been given before.
