About this ebook
My soul is in anguish. How long, O Lord, how long?' (Psalm 6:8)
Personal tragedy and heartache. Accident, illness and infirmity. Drought, earthquake, tsunami. Terrorist atrocities. War, genocide, poverty, famine. All we have to do is live long enough, and we will suffer in one way or another.
In this new edition of an excellent, widely appreciated study, Don Carson addresses the issue of evil and suffering with sensitivity, pastoral concern and biblical insight. He helps Christians prepare for the day when they have to experience a 'frowning providence', and face it with faith and hope because of an unshakable trust in the providence of God.

54 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book for those who want to understand the true Christian life. Stands in stark contrast to the "health and wealth" theology of our day and presents a more biblical view of what it means to follow Christ, namely, suffering and self-denial.
