xvi, 141 p. ; 19 cm.

Summary:

Called “the best preacher in the family,” by her father, Billy Graham, Anne Graham Lotz speaks around the globe with the wisdom and the authority of years spent studying God’s Word. In her latest book, Anne shares her heart and God’s teachings on the universal problem of suffering.

Drawing her characteristically keen insights from the familiar story of Lazarus in the ninth and eleventh chapters of the Gospel of John, Lotz offers Jesus’ reassuring answers to our heartfelt cries for understanding:

• Why doesn’t God care?
• Why does He let these things happen?
• Why me?
• Why doesn’t God answer my prayers?
• Why didn’t He protect me?
• Why doesn’t He perform a miracle?

Why? helps us understand and deal with suffering while guiding us to the ultimate answer-the Savior who shares our grief and our tears.

Title:

Where is God when it hurts? / Philip Yancey.

Publication info:

Grand Rapids, Mich. : Zondervan Pub. House, c1990

Physical description:

286 p.

Summary:

If there is a loving God, then why is it that … ? 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 simply wind up the world’s mainspring and now is watching from a distance? 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. Where Is God When It Hurts? speaks to those for whom life sometimes just doesn’t make sense. It also helps equip anyone who wants to reach out to someone in pain but just doesn’t know what to say.
