What's So Great about God: A Reasonable Defense of the Goodness of God in a World Filled with Suffering
Does God really care about us?The biggest question about God is not, surprisingly enough, whether he exists. It’s whether he is really as great and good as he is purported to be. In this book, Dinesh D’Souza applies recent scientific discoveries in physics, astrophysics, and biology to the persistent problem of evil. The result is a stunningly new and well-reasoned exploration of why a great and good God can allow so much suffering in this world.Yes, God cares.
