Very helpful resource for those asking questions about suffering.

This was the perfect gift for one of my teens who had a lot of questions about why God allows people to suffer. It has started so many conversations and gotten them thinking about the way they view God and the world.

I was raised Christian, but I am much deeper in my spiritual maturity than many of the older members of my family. My grandma, the matriach of our family, passed earlier this year and I bought a series of resources from DGC when she was first diagnosed last summer. She led my grandfather spiritually and when she passed he was at a loss for guidance in a time of great confusion. This book has touched him immensely in this season of grief and it helped me in our season of suffering. The only thing I'll say, is don't wait until suffering comes knocking at your door step to buy this book. Buy it now. Read it now, so that you can learn to confront suffering in your lives and the lives of others from a Biblical perspective and you can have it at the ready when you need something to grab onto immediately to help keep you afloat. Scripture tells us that it is not an IF but a WHEN we will experience suffering. Every Christian should have this on-hand to be prepared for Spiritual warfare.

This book helps you gain focus on gods love through suffering rather than being alone in your grief.

This study was helpful and I appreciate that it did not attempt to be a "catch-all". It allows room for different types of suffering as well as differing views and biblical answers to those views. I appreciate that it highlights positives in certain frames of thought but also helps to show how the positives need to be sought in the light of the word and not on their own. It highlights how certain views even if biblically based can become idols if not continually focused on Christ. Great resource.
