Mine has been the story of a sinner saved by the grace of an awesome God, who has since dedicated his life to the service of Jesus Christ. When I was a much younger man I had no idea of the extent to which my sovereign God would put that commitment to the test.
For many years my wife and both daughters suffered intensely at the hands of an extremely painful and often debilitating chronic illness, and we were driven daily to the very brink of the breaking point. But through it all we have been refined like silver in a very hot furnace. Little did I know then how valuable those long, hard years would prove to be; it was in that boot camp where God prepared me for His work as a Christian apologist.
If there is a God who is both good and all-powerful, then how can there be so much evil and suffering in this world? Does God care? How could a perfect God have created so imperfect a world? How can we be sure that He even exists? Is it possible to really know Him?
The cliched answers that are most readily available are often satisfying only to people who have never truly suffered. It is in the fires of affliction that the hard answers to the hardest questions are refined.
