Bad Things, Good People, and God: A Guide for Teens

Help for teens struggling to reconcile complexity in the world and faith in God.

From the pandemic to polarized politics to school shootings, kids today face a reality that inevitably can lead to a wonder about why. Bad Things, Good People, and God offers help to teenagers as they think through one of the biggest and oldest questions of faith--why bad things happen. With stories from the Bible, a side-eye to some of the “classic” attempts at figuring all of this out, honest talk about sin and suffering, and hope for making sense of it all, this guide allows readers to explore, wonder, curse, lament, and ultimately find a sense of peace around the question of evil.

Bestselling YA novelist Bryan Bliss turns his hand to a challenging topic teenagers don't want a simple answer for—they want to know what's at stake, how it affects the world, and what difference they can make.
