About this audiobook
Why does God allow suffering? In today's world of convenience and comfort, suffering can seem senseless. This idea has even crept into the church, where many believe that if we make the right choices and do the right things, pain can be avoided. So it's little wonder that when we do encounter tough situations, we face even tougher questions: Why does God allow suffering? Where is God when I'm hurting? In The Power of Suffering, renowned pastor and author John MacArthur takes an in-depth, honest look at the reality of pain and hurt in the life of a believer. Filled with rich biblical truths and fresh insights, this study explores how God ultimately uses suffering for good in the lives of His children and offers encouragement and hope for the heavy heart.
