Whether we’re dealing with suffering, temptation, sin, grief, or persecution, it’s easy to feel alone in our troubles. But the reality is that everyone experiences trouble at some point, and we have a Father in heaven who promises to always be with us. In this honest and encouraging book, Phil Ryken offers hope and practical examples from his own life, the lives of major characters from the Bible, and Jesus himself to show us that we’re never alone in our pain. Though suffering is normal and affliction is to be expected, Christians can put their hope in God—our very present help in times of trouble.

“Few books present both comfort and challenge like When Trouble Comes. Dr. Ryken weaves his own story with the likes of Ruth, David, and Paul to illuminate God’s path to resilience. You will gain practical steps to hope when your own soul is troubled and a clear call to action when you witness pain in the world.”

“Deep meditation on Scripture has intersected with a wise understanding of human nature to yield a book that speaks earnestly to our lives. I have preached and taught on most of the biblical figures described in this book, but I learned many new truths as I read these studies.”
