Life on earth is hard. It can often feel like assembling a complex puzzle, except many of the pieces don’t fit. Kind people can be harmed, and cruel people can be helped. Honorable people can die young, while dishonorable people can live long. Diligent people can be dealt a hand that leads to poverty, and lazy people can come into a fortune. The difficulty of life leads many to conclude life is meaningless, and God, if real at all, is distant from the workings of this world. Buried in the pages of this strangely comforting book is sympathy for our struggle and signposts, pointing us to a Savior who gives ultimate meaning to this life.
