About this listen
Sooner or later, kids have big questions about God, life, faith, and the Bible, especially when their friends start asking them about what they believe. A common one is: Why does God let bad things happen?
Big questions deserve good answers. This warm, reassuring, and fast-paced book looks at what the Bible says to help 9- to 13-year-olds think through this big question for themselves. It puts the problem of suffering in the context of the Bible's big story and encourages listeners to see that whatever they're facing, Jesus is with them.
Lively stories and illustrations make this book easy for this age group to engage with. Christian studies teacher and school chaplain Chris Morphew has been answering big questions from kids in his classroom for over a decade. He has written over 20 books for children and youth, including Best News Ever, a 100-day devotional for tweens. Emma Randall has illustrated many books, including Diary of a Disciple.
Why Does God Let Bad Things Happen? is part of the Big Questions series: fun and fast-paced books walking kids aged 9-13 through what the Bible says about some of the big questions of life and helping them to grow in confident and considered faith.

Story
Some Christians think Paul's reference to "saved through childbearing" in 1 Timothy 2:15 means that women are slated primarily for delivering and raising children. Alternate readings, however, sometimes fail to build on the best historical and textual evidence. Sandra Glahn thinks that we have misunderstood Paul by misunderstanding the context to which he wrote. A key to reading and applying 1 Timothy, Glahn argues, lies in getting to know a mysterious figure who haunts the letter: the goddess Artemis.
