Why Me?: Straight Talk About Suffering

’If God had created a world in which there were no possibilities, what would that world be like? What would our lives be like if there were no potential for pain? Would there be any joy? Achievement? Satisfaction? Love?’--Lawrence WilsonSuffering of any kind is a painful, lonely process. When Christians suffer their first response is to question God and seek some understanding for their pain. In Why Me?, Lawrence Wilson explains that it is not always possible to find easy answers to life’s most difficult questions, but it is possible to find good and God in every circumstance, to experience joy alongside pain, and to live a good life in spite of the nagging question, ’Why Me?’
