In this time, it seems the age-old ‘why?' questions about God and suffering are surfacing more: Why do bad things happen? If God exists, why doesn't he do something?
This book reminds us of God’s sovereignty, that He is amid my, or our, suffering. It helps us see the hurting world through His eyes.
Sharon Dirckx concludes, 'I would like to show you that, even though we don't understand everything, it is still possible to believe in a powerful, loving God and acknowledge the reality of evil and suffering. Not only that, but seeing life from this perspective helps us make more, not less, sense of our hurting world.' While we may never have all the answers, it does not mean that there are no answers at all.

Chuck Swindoll invites us to re-examine what we think is “God’s plan” and what happens when we see or face unexpected “bumps” in the road.
How do we face and deal with the unexpected and how should we and believers respond, in a God-fearing manner?

by C.S. Lewis
A Lewis classic, he candidly pens down his moments of experiencing grief, mourning and loss from the death of his wife. How do we face grief? How should we answer the issue of loss?
Capturing thoughts in which he questioned what he had previously believed about life and death, marriage, and even God, this shows us the tension in embracing our own human doubts and frailty, while still professing the faith we hold to.
