Help others through suffering and pain.
How could a good God allow a world like this?
The most frequent objection to the Christian faith is the problem of pain and suffering. If God is all-powerful and all-loving, why do catastrophes, diseases, and evil events still happen?
The problem of suffering and faith is so perennial and pervasive that thousands of books have addressed it over the centuries. But this book is different.
Making Sense of Suffering will help you help others in pain.
It is not intended to equip you to become a professional Christian counselor but to help you respond to suffering from a biblical and practical perspective.
Within these pages, you will:
-
Learn seven biblical, practical ways to help hurting people.
-
Be able to answer “Why does God allow evil and suffering?” through a fourfold approach to theodicy.
-
Lead others in their understanding of the problem of pain through discussion questions for each chapter.
