When life becomes difficult—when we face deep disappointment, agonizing loss, or on-going pain—we set out on a search to find answers to significant questions: Why would God allow this to happen? What good could come out of this? What will it look like to trust him? In this collection of insightful essays and excerpts, classic and contemporary theologians and Bible teachers—ranging from John Calvin, Charles Spurgeon, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer to Tim Keller, John Piper, and D. A. Carson—explore Scripture in regard to the causes and purposes of suffering, as well as what it means to trust God in the midst of hardship and pain.

"Many short chapters all written by different people from different times. This may be the best book on suffering that I've read even though no single chapter goes into a lot of depth. It's also good for finding other quality books on living the Christian life." — Jeff (5 out of 5 stars)

" Good book . . . some of the essays were a bit weird, but there were also some real gems (such as the one by Lloyd-Jones) "
" A beautiful, heart stirring book for any believer in the midst of trials. Nancy Guthrie is a woman to listen to. She has sat in the seat of suffering and been able to see God's goodness, love, and grace in the midst of it. "
" Recommended to those who have also read Suffering and the Sovereignty of God Ed. John Piper, or anyone looking for thoughtful meditations on suffering. "
" Keller, Tozer, Carson, Packer, etc.--can't go wrong with contributors like these. "
