Why would an all-loving God allow suffering? Does suffering have any meaning or benefit?  Who is God anyway?  Fr. Spitzer gives a response to these questions and many others, explaining the contemporary evidence for God, the soul, and the resurrection. He discusses how God uses suffering to lead us to compassion for others and eternal life. He also shows how the Holy Spirit guides us through times of suffering toward our salvation, explaining the signs and the interior movements that reveal the Spirit's actions.
