About

Why God Allows Suffering and How He Uses It to Transform Us
Why does God allow his children to suffer? While we may not always learn the cause of a specific trial we face, Scripture does address the question "Why?" with two compelling words: so that. God's Word promises that God's purposes will prevail in and through our suffering.

God's Purposes in Our Pain examines 10 powerful statements from 2 Corinthians that highlight how God transforms our suffering. Written for Christians struggling to understand why they experience grief, this book explains how suffering prepares us to strengthen others, rely on God's provision, display the life of Christ, glorify God for his grace, and more.

Each chapter is dedicated to an individual purpose and features illustrative stories and examples from Scripture, as well as reflection questions. Accessible and pastoral, this book helps us gain an eternal perspective as we endure pain and deepen our trust in the God who raises the dead.

- Biblical Encouragement: Ministers to people dealing with physical pain, emotional struggles, loss, or grief
- Accessible: Filled with illustrations and practical applications
- A Great Resource for Pastors and Small Groups: Reflection questions at the end of each chapter make the book personal and applicable
