$15.49Add to cartIf God is loving and powerful, why did He allow suffering to exist?
If God is all loving, and all powerful, couldn’t He stop all suffering?
Why are innocent children born deformed?
Why are there wars? What about tornadoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis?
Doesn’t God care about all the people who are suffering in the world?Why Do The Innocent Suffer? is the most comprehensive discussion of this topic. Saia compares the various religious and philosophical reasons offered to answer this question, then solves the problem with a thoroughly Biblical answer. We might summarize the message of the book as an answer to the question of Moses in Genesis 18:25, “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
Mike’s thorough exegesis of the book of Job is a highlight of the book, and would serve every pastor and teacher very well.

Why Pray
$15.49Add to cartWhat is it about the nature of reality that makes it necessary to pray?
Is the future of the world fixed, or can prayer change the course of history?
Are there some things that will not happen because we did not pray?
If the will of God is always done, is there any need to pray at all?“Prayer changes things.” Lots of us grew up hearing people say this. And some questioned if prayer could actually change outcomes. Did it have the power to alter the course of history, or are we simply doing it because the Bible tells us to, but ultimately, it has no real impact on the world in which we live? Mike’s book addresses this question head on.

Does God Know The Future
$19.99Add to cartDoes God know what we will choose to do in the future? If God knows the future, do we have a free will? Does God live outside of time? Is this idea biblical? If God knows who will be saved or lost, does it do any good to preach the gospel? Does God Know the Future? offers answers to these important questions from a radically biblical perspective, with intellectually satisfying arguments and easyto- understand practical application. Divided into biblical, philosophical, and practical sections, Does God Know the Future? addresses all the major elements of the foreknowledge vs. free-will question. Does God Know the Future? is a valuable tool for anyone interested in the “open theism” discussion. ——————————————————————————– Gilbert Bilezikian, Professor Emeritus of Wheaton College, says: “Does God Know the Future? was a necessary book. Before the term ‘open theism’ was ever invented, Michael Saia had already conducted a lifetime of careful research relevant to the current discussion. The results of this pursuit have now been made graciously available in Does God Know the Future? This book constitutes the most thorough presentation available on the subject of the ‘openness of God’ theology. In it, the biblical basis for the openness teaching is clearly described, and the arguments propounded against this teaching are systematically examined and critically evaluated. Because the contents of the book have been targeted to include a general readership and because its tone is irenic, it will benefit a wide public who may be aware of the present debate without knowing where to turn to receive simple answers.”
