Embracing God’s Purpose & Provision in Suffering: 25 Classic & Contemporary Readings on the Problem of Pain edited by Nancy Guthrie.
If you’ve lived long enough, you know that very few, if any, escape suffering somewhere along the line. When those trials come, we need a rock solid ground beneath us. This secure stability in difficulty is what Nancy Guthrie hopes to guide us to in Be Still, My Soul. She writes:
The scriptural truths elucidated in this book by respected classic and contemporary theologians and Bible teachers are the truths that have been the solid foundation under my feet in the storms of suffering and sorrow in my life.
This book follows the same formula as Come Thou Long-Expected Jesus, the Nancy Guthrie collection of Christmas readings that I reviewed a year and a half ago. Only this time the topic is not the incarnation but God’s perspective, purpose, and provision in suffering. Nancy Guthrie, who lost two of her children as infants and who has written books on the subject of God and suffering is uniquely equipped to compile selections that will give the reader courage, hope, and peace in suffering.
