When God Weeps: Why Our Sufferings Matter to the Almighty
$18.95 See it at Reformers Bookshop
Its easy to trust God when things are going our way and the world makes sense. But when suffering strikes--especially seemingly senseless suffering--we are filled with doubt and stunned by events spiraling beyond our control. In the midst of suffering, we often question the very foundation of our faith--our belief in the God who says he loves us. Who is God? Can he really be trusted? What are his purposes in the face of suffering? If he can stop suffering, why doesnt he? Joni Eareckson Tada, a woman who has lived in a wheelchair for more than thirty years, and Steve Estes, a pastor and one of Jonis closest friends, explore the answers. With both a practical edge and heartfelt warmth, When God Weeps offers a message of deep reliance on God--and keys to a radical, life-transforming dependence on his love and mercy in spite of our doubts, fears, longings, and questions. Its a message much needed. A practical and deeply biblical investigation of the problem of pain and a hopeful portrait of a God who weeps with us.
