God is our home but many of us have strayed from our native land. The venerable authors of these Spiritual Classics are expert guides-may we follow their directions home. -Archbishop Desmond TutuHow can a just God abandon His creatures to suffering? How do we reconcile our notions of divine goodness and omnipotence with the fact that the universe is visibly unfair? Sooner or later, these questions confront anyone who attempts to lead a life of faith.

With a new Preface by Cynthia Ozick, nominated for the National Book Award for her book The Puttermesser Papers | The Book of Job by John F. Thornton, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
