When God Weeps, Why Our Sufferings Matter to the Almighty by Joni Eareckson Tada and Steven Estes ISBN 0-310-21186-7 |
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? |
"Joni Eareckson Tada and 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.” |

If you do not know God as Father, you do not really know Him at all." The author invites readers to draw near to the heart of God where the good, kind, and loving Father wants to provide a safe and true home for your heart. |
