Suffering is the world s common language. We all live through these grey days and dark nights, and for some they seem to last a lifetime. Life hurts. Pain is real. Suffering surrounds us.
However, as prevalent as suffering is, most of us have little or no framework to deal with pain. We don't really know what to say about injustice, oppression, affliction, disease, or sorrow. The messiness of pain simply doesn t fit with polished shopping malls, granite counter tops, and cushioned pews. Waiting For Daylight wrestles with this everyday paradox in which we live -- a world with God and a world with pain.
This book is for everyone who has... lost a job, moved out of state, been sick, had a teenager rebel, cried, been hurt by love, fought an addiction, sat alone, crashed a car, lost a father, ended a marriage, managed a blended family, slipped into debt...lots of it, or watched their future wither and dreams fade.
This book is for you... because Jesus Christ suffered and died on black Friday but that wasn t the end! God showed up and put the sun in Sunday.

Palmer Chinchen is an engaging author and communicator who writes with unique authority on the need for a Christian response to suffering. His raw honesty is captivating and inspiring.
Drawing on his years of experience in Africa, he pulls the reader into the fabric of his message that God can take the life darkened by pain and make it beautiful.
Through his large college ministries in Southern California and Wheaton, Illinois Palmer led hundreds of college students on crosscultural ministry experiences to Africa and Central America... even Cuba. And over his many years in Africa he has experienced first hand the shock of coup-de-etas, the devastation of civil war, the ravaging pain of pandemics like AIDS and malaria, and the daily burden of extreme poverty.
Today Palmer leads a vibrant, young, and rapidly expanding congregation in Chandler, Arizona The Grove... a gathering of Christ followers who have begun a missional movement to take the love of God to a broken and hurting world.
Palmer holds a PhD from Trinity International University in Illinois and a MA and BA from Biola University.
