Why, in a world of love, is there so much pain? Is pain God's big mistake? Is there a message behind the suffering? WHERE IS GOD WHEN IT HURTS? is a true inspirational classic, a revealing, loving, and powerful book that deals realistically with crises of pain and suffering in all our lives. Philip Yancey takes us into his own life and others' lives to witness what few of us have ever seen: the true purpose of pain. Using examples from the Bible and the spiritual experiences of lifetimes, WHERE IS GOD WHEN IT HURTS? frees us from fear and opens new doors of understanding and hope.

Practical, honest discussion about human suffering
This is the best book on pain and suffering out in the market (even better than C.S. Lewis's THE PROBLEM OF PAIN). Yancey's first chapter title describes our predicament well enough: 'A problem that won't go away'. This problem is as old as mankind, and in some ways, no one will ever write a better outline of this difficulty than can be found in the book of Job. Yancey's book, though, takes a fresh look at pain itself, and while it cannot answer all questions (no book can), it does give a thoughtful discussion that helps us to comprehend the crucial role of pain in our lives. This book is not an abstract speculative treatise, but a practical and helpful companion as we ask why there is such a thing as pain, is pain a message from God, how do people respond to suffering, how can we cope with pain, and how does religious faith help (or hinder). I give this book my highest recommendation. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
