Best book on grief I have ever read. He doesn't try to over-simplify our mysterious and magnificent God. ( )

A comforting, healing guide for coping with hard times.

I have recommended this amazing book to many of my medical patients, who have been greatly comforted by its wisdom in the midst of their pain and suffering. ( )

This book was given to me during a tough time in my life. I was wondering if I had what it took to be a Christian leader, or, indeed, to be a leader or a Christian. Where was God, and why was I facing the things that I faced at that time.

This book didn't provide the answers, but it assured me that God knew my circumstances and loved me, and nothing came my way that was out of His control. A very helpful book. ( )

Many suffering people want to love God, but cannot see past their tears, says Philip Yancey. They feel hurt and betrayed. Sadly, the church often responds with more confusion than comfort. This current edition of what is perhaps Yancey's best-known book should speak to anyone for whom life sometimes just doesn't make sense. And it should help equip anyone who wants to reach out to someone in pain but just doesn't know what to say.
