Description
An inspirational classic for more than thirty years,?Where Is God When It Hurts?? honestly explores pain—from physical wounds to emotional and spiritual pain—and sheds new light on God’s presence in our suffering.
“How can a loving God allow this to happen? God is either all-loving or all-powerful, but he can’t be both.”
You’ve heard that question, and perhaps you’ve even asked it yourself. When a loved one dies, we receive a terminal diagnosis, or natural disasters strike, people often wonder whether God is the?cause?of suffering and why he doesn’t immediately take away the pain or fix the situation. As a result, we become angry at the once-beloved God who betrayed us.
Bestselling author Philip Yancey uses examples from the Bible and from his own experiences to show us how we can learn to accept—without blame, anger, or fear—what we don’t understand. Along the way, he answers questions such as:
- Why is there such a thing as pain?
- Is pain a message from God?
- How should we respond to suffering?
- How can we learn to cope with pain?
Where Is God When It Hurts??speaks to everyone who thinks that suffering doesn’t make sense. With compassion and clarity, Yancey brings us one step closer to finding an answer when our pain, or the pain of those we love, is real and we are left wondering,?where is God when it hurts?
