Have you ever wondered why there is so much evil happening in the world? This book, Why God Allows Evil and Suffering, by Sine Nomine, is a book that reveals the reason why so many things are the way they are today and in ancient times.

God is the creator of the whole earth. His creation came with a purpose. That is why we, as human beings, should have a purpose-driven life because we are created in the likeness of God. God's purpose for creation is to express love. God is love. As children of God, we are to show love to the people around us. Now goes the question: If God's reason for creation is to show love and for us humans to love one another, then why does evil persist? Why do sickness and diseases take our loved ones away from us? The answer to this question lies in this book. Read to find out.

Going through this book, I loved the way the author was able to breakdown each subheading and also give various examples for a better understanding of the book. This book is important because of the knowledge I gained from it. I got to know more things about God, including God's nature and things that can make him act in some particular way. I also got to know that our level of relationship with others can be a source of happiness. When you are a highly social person, you tend to be very happy compared to a non-social individual. This book contains a lot of tips for argument that could be used for a debate or for pleasure. The setting of the book is nice. The book was properly edited.

I don't like the fact that the author got most of his ideology from Catholic doctrine. From my own perspective, I would suggest that other churches doctrines are also touched.

Based on what has been said so far, I would give this book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars. I recommend this book to everyone who would like to know the reason why evil and pain still lurk around the world.
