Where Is God When It Hurts? - Phillip Yancey {Book}

If there is a loving God, then why… ? You’ve heard that question, perhaps asked it yourself. No matter how you complete it, at its root lies the issue of pain. Does God order our suffering? Does he decree an abusive childhood, orchestrate a jet crash, steer a tornado through a community? Or did he just wind up the world’s mainspring and now is watching passively from a distance? In this Gold Medallion Award-winning book, Philip Yancey reveals a God who is neither capricious nor unconcerned. Using examples from the Bible and from his own experiences, Yancey looks at pain—physical, emotional, and spiritual—and helps us understand why we suffer. If you’ve ever felt that life sometimes just doesn’t make sense, Where Is God When It Hurts? will speak to you. It will also help equip those who want to reach out to someone in pain but just don’t know what to say.
