Where Is God When It Hurts? Audiobook

" I heard Philip Yancey speak several years ago in Exeter, and found it fascinating ti listen to his ideas. One thing he said has really stuck with me. He said he doesn't write books because he has the answers, but because he wants to ask the questions. I find it very refreshing to follow his thought process, and sometimes not necessarily reach a conclusion, but rather to ask the questions with him. "

" I have read this book but it has been quite some time since I did so. I think I need to re-read it. There seems to be a lot of pain in our world lately, "

" I got lost in the book. The first few chapters talked about pain. This doesnt show the connection to the title. I was hoping that it would be more of a spiritual book; but it didnt really show itself to be as such. It didnt really show its difference with other books that talked about death. "

" A good book to read when you hurt. He doesn't tell you how to make it go away but he does put a lot of things into perspective. "

" A good discussion on why we suffer, how to respond to people who are suffering, and how to deal with the suffering we face. One warning: the chapter on "painless hell" was very disturbing (I have yet to see a horror movie scarier than one particular episode described). Skim it or skip it, but the bottom line is that you should feel grateful -- very, very grateful -- that you can feel pain because life without the sensation of pain is horrifying. "

" I thought that this was an okay book. There are a few profound passages that gave me a lot to think about but overall I thought it was just an okay book. There is a much much better book about suffering and the good that can come from it called "What's Good About Feeling Bad?" I would highly recommend the mentioned book for those who are trying to understand why we suffer and those looking for hope and the good in the midst of suffering. "

" I wish I knew Yancey personally! "

" Once again, a very nice, fresh, different perspective on the problem of pain. "

" This is one of the most powerful books I have been impacted by. I read it shortly after experiencing one of the most devastating losses in my life. I recommend this for anybody who has been, or is, hurting for some interesting perspectives on God's role/place in our lives. "

" A less academic approach the eternal question of why God allows suffering. It reminded me a lot of Ehrman's God's Problem with similar explanations, but I liked that Yancey used stories of people who suffer to explore the question. "

" I bought this book when i was serving in the youth ministry. Well, I got ministered myself. A good buy. "

" Very thought provoking. Takes the perspective of how we react to pain and hardship as a means of moving forward instead of looking for someone or something (God?) to blame. "

" 3 1/2 Stars. This was a very fascinating book. It taught me a lot of things I probably wouldn't have learned any other way. "

" this book helped grow my understanding of suffering... giving glory to God and finding the joy in all circumstances.... "

" pain is a gift from heaven. "

" THE book to read when you are asking questions in a time of pain. "

" My favorite Yancey book but they're all tremendous! "

" This book is AMAZING. A must read! "

" Thank God for pain. This book definitely goes in my category of books that have changed the way I view things. I will try and look at suffering and pain through new eyes now. "
