Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. When suffering touches our lives we ask "Why?" The parts written by Joni were excellent, answering a lot of questions about suffering and pain, from her own experience and that of some of her friends. The more formal parts written by Steve Estes were a bit irritating, however, not really answering questions at all but putting his personal doctrinal perspective. no reviews | add a review

If God is loving, why is there suffering? What's the difference between permitting something and ordaining it? When bad things happen, who's behind them--God or the devil? When suffering touches our lives, questions like these suddenly demand an answer. From our perspective, suffering doesn't make sense, especially when we believe in a loving and just God. After more than thirty years in a wheelchair, Joni Eareckson Tada's intimate experience with suffering gives her a special understanding of God's intentions for us in our pain. In When God Weeps, she and lifelong friend Steven Estes probe beyond glib answers that fail us in our time of deepest need. Instead, with firmness and compassion, they reveal a God big enough to understand our suffering, wise enough to allow it-and powerful enough to use it for a greater good than we can ever imagine.
