From the Foreword by Tim Chester:

For anyone engaging with the Christian message, suffering is a big question: How can an all-powerful, all-loving God allow suffering? Suffering appears to point to a God who is either indifferent to our plight or impotent to remedy it.

But suffering is also personal. For many of us it is not some abstract conundrum, but a daily challenge. And to the challenge of coping is added the challenge of faith. Does God care for me?

Melvin Tinker invites us to walk with Job through the confusion suffering creates. If God is so Good Why are Things so Bad? is like a guidebook that helps us navigate through unfamiliar territory.
