He demonstrates why suffering – in combination with love – is one of the most powerful motivating agents for personal, cultural, and societal development.. Spitzer not only addresses the perplexing questions associated with suffering but teaches us how to suffer well. He points out some of the most common mistakes people make when trying to interpret God's motives for allowing or alleviating suffering. Why would an all-loving God allow suffering? Are not suffering and love opposed to one another? Does suffering have any meaning or benefit?  Is there any objective evidence for God, for a soul that will survive bodily death, for the resurrection of Jesus?

He also shows how the Holy Spirit guides us through times of suffering toward our salvation, explaining the signs and the interior movements that reveal the Spirit's actions.Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J., gives a comprehensive response to these questions and many others, explaining the contemporary evidence for God, the soul, and the resurrection. He discusses how God uses suffering to lead us to compassion for others and eternal life
