Why is there so much suffering today, even for Christians?

In Divine Dilemma, Ken Ham confronts this topic head-on, using personal accounts of illness and loss from within his own family. You and your family will identify with these experiences in this powerful and practical book dealing with one of the most difficult questions we all must face. He understands that, as Christians, we do struggle and grieve in this world, and that is understandable. But, yes, there are answers from God’s Word. And, no … death is not the end.

Down through the ages, one of the biggest issues people have grappled with is why death, disease, and suffering exist in this world. From a human perspective, death appears to be the end for each person, and it is heartbreaking.

For the Christian, this can be a terrible dilemma: how can we understand death and suffering when the Bible teaches that our Creator God is a loving God?

For the secularist, it’s a reason to reject God and mock Christians for their belief in a loving God.

Is there an answer to this seemingly insurmountable problem? Is death really the end?

In this unique, and at times, emotional book, author Ken Ham speaks from God’s Word and his heart, not only sharing his own personal struggles with this topic but revealing the ultimate solution.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your family’s story. Your book has helped to answer many questions for me and has given me the words needed to help those that come to me with their own questions.

May the lord Jesus Christ bless you and your family.

Biblical Answers for the Most Challenging Circumstances of Life in A Fallen World

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2023

I read Ken Ham’s book titled How Could A Loving God? a few years ago while in the midst of a cancer battle, and was strengthened in my faith as he explained suffering from a biblical worldview. This newly updated and expanded edition of that book is exceptional. Ken Ham reveals the raw pain and emotions of his heart while sharing the heart-wrenching story of his brother’s illness and subsequent death. I was moved to tears while reading of the personal struggles he and his family faced while seeking answers to the age-old question, “Why?” The means God used to strengthen their faith and give answers to their aching hearts and minds is truly God-ordained.

As with all of Ken Ham’s books, he does an excellent job of laying the groundwork for a biblical worldview beginning with Genesis. Suffering and death are explained by the Fall and the entrance of sin and death into the world through Adam’s disobedience. But abundant life and the hope of a perfect world without sin and death come through the obedience of the Second Adam, Jesus Christ, who promises to one day restore all things.

This book is rich with biblical truths supported by Scripture. It also shares the wisdom of a man deeply in love with God and committed to His Word as Ken Ham quotes his brother, Pastor Robert Ham, who like Abel, “though he is dead, he still speaks” (Heb. 11:4) Beautiful color illustrations and photos throughout, along with personal stories of Ken Ham’s family and their legacy, draw you in and keep the book moving along. Read it and be encouraged to trust that God is indeed working all things for good; that even when we can’t understand “why,” we must bow the knee before our Sovereign Lord, knowing that He alone is God and worthy of our praise and trust.

Biblical Perspective Of Why We Suffer But Lacking Practically

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2023

When I first saw the title and brief description of this book, I was surprised. It's not something I am used to seeing Ken Ham write about. I think Ken did well with explaining why there is disease, suffering, and death. I appreciated and could relate to Ken sharing about his brother and even his mother. It's important to understand Biblically why we suffer and Ken did well in this endeavor. I also think Ken could have done better by what he shared about Darwin, Evolution, the Creation Museum, and the Ark Encounter. Although Ken didn't share anything that wasn't true, I felt that a topic such as this, I felt in the midst of explaining it, Ken was throwing a sales pitch for the AiG ministry. I also felt Ken in some ways was going against what he has written about in other books/articles and that is the "Just trust in Jesus" statement. Yes of course we need to trust in Jesus and Ken knows that. Ken also knows by saying that doesn't automatically "fix" things. Ken did share from his heart I believe but I also think he tried to make things too simple. Suffering and pain is complicated sometimes. I think the book would have been better to address more of that with some more emotion. I didn't detect real emotion from Ken Ham in trying to relay the information at hand. I felt the book was more fact-based than trying to truly relate to people who are really struggling. Instead of making sales pitches about AiG ministry, perhaps sharing more about difficulties people have and how to deal with them more. Ridiculing those who believe in evolution and millions of years doesn't really help those that are dealing with grief, depression, and anxiety. There was no sense of coming along-side someone who is truly having a "Divine Dilemma" in their faith when it comes to suffering and death. Having mentored and ministered to people in the category, I can't think of a time when I would have ridiculed others (evolution/millions of year) while trying to help them cope. I just think this could have been better. As I said, I was surprised to see Ken Ham writing about this and now I know why.

Provides peace and understanding about sickness and death

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2023

Update to Ken Ham's book 'How Could a Loving God?'
Who wants to think of dying? None of us. We want to avoid it. The truth is we will die one day. All of the people that we know will die one day. This book helps you to understand how to deal with it. How to understand why we will die? How to deal with the loss of loved ones? How to know where we are going when we die?

Ken Ham relates a true account of life, suffering, and death to God's worldview.

In an evolutionary world, humans are no more valuable than any other form of life. So why do people who believe in evolution say that something is just or unjust if there is no absolute authority?

He shows that the secular humanist worldview has no answer for the problems of suffering and death. That view is based on the wrong foundation of man's word.

Christians need to look to Genesis 1-11 to learn about death, suffering, and disease. That should be their foundation.

The Apostle Paul saw sickness and illness as normal living in a world that has been ruined by sin.

Every second of every day we live in a fallen world, and we can expect pain, suffering, and hardships.

Sooner or later, the bodies we live in will die and perish.

When we can't see goodness we must bend a knee and trust His goodness in the midst of evil will be revealed.

God's word has a plan for us beyond the grave as well.

Jesus wept at death, we weep at death.
