Philip Yancey serves as editor-at-large for Christianity Today magazine. He has written nine Gold Medallion Award-winning books and two of his books, The Jesus I Never Knew and What s So Amazing About Grace? were awarded the Book of the Year. Yancey and his wife live in Colorado.
"If there is a loving God, then why is it that . . ." You've heard that question, perhaps asked if 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? 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. This most current edition of what is perhaps Yancey's best-known book will speak to those for whom life sometimes just doesn't make sense. And it will help equip anyone who wants to reach out to someone in pain but just doesn't know what to say.
