This link explains one man's interpretation of the Book of Job as it relates to human suffering. Do you agree with the conclusion Kushner has drawn? How would you argue differently?

Allow me to summarize the content, for I fear people are not reading the link.
It is presented that in the Book of Job, one can make three logical assumptions:
1) God is all-powerful.
2) God is all-loving and just.
3) Job is a good person.
We are challenged that as Job's suffering continues, we can no longer accept his suffering whie reconciling all three assumptions. For the suffering to be justified, we can only keep two and the third assumption is then made false. Which of the three would you resign?
