Geoffrey Harris 
Ocean of Love, or Sea of Troubles? [EPUB ebook] 
Can We Find God in a Suffering World?

The title of Dr. Harris’ book suggests that life is like a two-sided coin: it can be an Ocean of Love but can also be a Sea of Troubles. The subtitle clarifies this paradox: first, there are many signs of God’s reality and activity in the world, and the first section of the book examines ways in which people are aware of God as both a creative and immanent presence in life. The ‘signs’ of God are not philosophical ‘proofs’ but empirical realities accessible to all people. In the second section, the biblical responses to suffering in the world are explored–through both Old and New Testaments. In the third section the writings of two modern apologists, C. S. Lewis and Philip Yancey, are assessed, and then finally there is a chapter of interviews with people who have known suffering in their lives.
