from biography of C.S. Lewis
"Its sole purpose (the book The Problem of Pain) is to explain suffering,"maintained Jack (C.S. Lewis). "Most pain in men is inflicted by other men, perhaps from Satan. Yet," Jack yielded, "some pain must be attributed to God. Why would God make men suffer? The hard answer is that in no ways other than pain and death can God make man surrender his self to God. 'Happy' people ignore God; 'unhappy' people seek God and desire the peace and security of his Kingdom." Thus Jack explained why an all-powerful, loving God permits pain.
