Can God be good when life is not?

In Hope in the Dark, pastor and New York Times bestselling author

Craig Groeschel explores the poignant contradiction between our

suffering and an all-loving God with gentle honesty, biblical truths and

stories of people who wrestled with deep questions.

"I want to believe, I want to have hope, but…" Pastor and

bestselling author Craig Groeschel hears these words often and has

asked them himself. We want to know God, feel his presence and trust

that he hears our prayers, but in the midst of great pain, we wonder if

he really cares about us. Even when we have both hope and hurt,

sometimes it's the hurt that shouts the loudest.

In Hope in the Dark, Groeschel explores the story of the father

who brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus, saying, "I believe! Help

my unbelief!" In the man’s sincere plea, Jesus heard the tension in the

man's battle-scarred heart. He healed not only the boy but the father

too; driving out the hopelessness that had overtaken him. He can do

the same for us today.
