Publisher's summary

For a lot of people, the biggest question about God isn't, surprisingly enough, whether he exists. Instead, it's about whether God is truly good. Dinesh D'Souza, in his debates with leading atheists, quickly realized that many of his debates would revolve around the question of evil in this world and how God could create a world that allowed such suffering and evil. In Godforsaken, Dinesh D'Souza takes these questions head-on. Does God act like a tyrant? Is God really responsible for the evil in this world? Why is there suffering in the world?

For the first time ever, Dinesh D'Souza approaches this topic with historical and scientific proofs and presents to the reader why God is truly worthy of our worship and love.

Outstanding!

If you could sum up Godforsaken in three words, what would they be?

Thanks, got it!

What did you like best about this story?

M. Scott Peck's "The Road Less Traveled", "Further Along the Road Less Traveled", and "The Road Less Traveled and Beyond" guided many a sufferer into recovery. "Godforsaken" does the same.

What about Lloyd James’s performance did you like?

Either this book was badly written and superbly read, or this book was superbly written and superbly read. I am inclined to believe the latter. Lloyd James' performance is nothing less than outstanding.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

"Godforsaken" was written in language of the heart. Now see it!

Any additional comments?

I can't visualize how a film of this book could be made. It would have to be at least as good as "Life of Pi".

Excellent

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I don't agree with everything D'Souza says, but it enriched my faith and made me think. It definitely answers the question of why bad things happen and is there a God who cares? Well worth the time. I highly recommend it.

Super deep!

A whole new way of looking at life.
You will have to listen to it at least three times to absorb half of what he is saying

Expansive,outside the box thinking!! Life altering

Dinish has done it again. Truly a man who helps open up possibilities and unthought of theories. this book is enlightening for anyone struggling with life's challenges and people searching for meaning in trials. It's a lot about Attitude and seeing the sun at midday in a cloudless sky!

A must read to understand your suffering

Dinesh D’Souza again knocks it out of the park with another boom on Christian understanding.

D’Souza is a true gift from God and this book will help you understand why suffering is key to your spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental growth.

Proverbs 8:35-36

For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord,

but he who fails to find me injures himself;all who hate me love death.”

Modern approach to an ancient question

Dinesh D’Souza accomplishes two feats in this book. First, he bring the latest scientific findings to bear on this age old question. Second, he articulates both the question and his novel answer in an understandable manner.
