Publisher's Summary

Since human life began, we have been on an endless quest for fulfillment. We spend our lives avoiding pain and seeking joy, happiness, success, and beauty. Sometimes we find them—in a majestic sunset, a moment of passion, or a promotion at work—but the longings remain. What we are seeking is something deeper, something more...

In The Problem of Life, author and pastor Mark Clark provides principles for understanding the human condition, delving into the fundamental questions that define our existence—from the pursuit of purpose to the experience of pain and the desire for meaning. Drawing on biblical teaching, theology, philosophy, psychology, pop culture, and personal experiences, he weaves a rich tapestry of argument that points us to God as the remedy to our brokenness and the answer to our questions.

The Problem of Life will help you:

  • Navigate the intricacies of the human experience.
  • Embrace your inherent humanity, with all its joys, sorrows, and uncertainties.
  • Bravely confront the realities of pain, suffering, and death.
  • Appreciate the potential for restoration even amidst the brokenness of the world.
  • Explore the balance between individualistic self-determination and surrendering to God's authority.

Whether you're grappling with existential questions, seeking solace in times of adversity, or simply yearning for deeper insight into the human condition, this book is a compelling companion on your journey of self-discovery. Provocative, insightful, and deeply resonant, The Problem of Life offers a bold solution to the personal and spiritual challenges of our time, helping you understand what it means to be alive.
