Very Good God In A Badly Broken World

At times the world seems full of evil and injustice. Another school shooting, a natural disaster, the innocent exploited these are our headlines. The brokenness of the world causes us to question: Where is God in this? How could a good God allow . . . ? Why should I believe in a God who . . . ?

In A Very Good God in a Badly Broken World, Dan Boone says that a helpful way to speak honestly about God in the midst of turmoil is to tell stories the tough stories:
*Noah, floating in the chaos.
*Job, sitting in the rubble.
*The psalmists, uttering unthinkable prayers.

These stories help us remember how very good God is. These stories empower us to respond to a broken world with confidence and hope.
