Peter Kreeft is indeed a very brave man to have tackled such a broad and seemingly unanswerable question: Why do we suffer? And where is God in all of our pain? Peter Kreeft attempts to sort through the dilemma that is involved in being human, insert God, and then explain some of our misguidedness and confusion. It's a warm book with some very nice Psalms and thoughts to reflect upon even when we aren't suffering. This book is particularly relevant after 9-11. We all need to take a moment and look through this, it's very comforting.

Peter Kreeft has written an intellectually stimulating book on something we all have to face: suffering. He does so by giving us clues from philosophy, the arts, and the Bible to the meaning of suffering. As a Catholic Christian, Kreeft finds the ultimate meaning of suffering in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. It is a book worth reading and re-reading. In my view, his most striking insight is how in literature, including the biblical story of Job, the protagonist must undergo suffering before the final triumph of good over evil. He urges us to view ourselves as protagonists in the midst of our own life stories. If good finally triumphs, as Christians believe, then the story is worthwhile, even with its inevitable suffering. Like a true philosopher, he also includes a thought-provoking chapter on why modernity can't understand suffering. This is a book that will appeal to all Christians, Catholic or non-Catholic, and to all persons searching to understand the meaning of suffering.

I would like to strongly recommend this book to all. It handles the hard question in a very sober and inspiring way and even humorously :-). Kreeft has not the role of an excathedral theologian or philosopher. No, he is a philosopher in the true sense. Majeneutics, the Socratic method of philosophical dialogue, is mixed with reflexions. The author points out and by hints lets the reader find the answer. He is a seeker, voyager and a challenger like we all. Like any good voyager he has his common sense and lot of experience as compass and ofcourse lot of professional knowledge and wisdom. Thouse of us who luck it or can not structure our life-experiences should read this humble and beautifull creation of a genius. Suffering makes sense. AMDG

William H. Mott IV takes us into the world of Satellite communications with an effective, business-like approach; so don't expect to be taken away by beautiful language, however, Mr. Mott IV gets the job done in any case.

The reader is given a slam-dunk course in Satellites 101 going through the types of satellite, stakeholders, national powers in the space, applications, economics, challenges, developments, and provides some foresight. But do not expect to find out what satellite service you should be investing in; that is not the purpose of this book.

If you have in interest in learning more about satellite technology and want to learn about how it might solve some of communication's problems, you will find it in this book.
