Editorial Review:
There's no more crucial topic in today's world than understanding what God is up to in the midst of personal and global tragedy-and there's no better author to help readers understand that issue in the light of the Scriptures than Jerry Bridges.

Rating:  - Before you read this book...
As with all books from Jerry Bridges, this book is also firmly rooted in the scriptures. Bridges masterfully confronts questions about God's goodness, His sovereignty, His wisdom, and our responsibility. But I want you to know that this book is derived from his earlier classic "Trusting God: Even When Life Hurts" (ISBN-10: 0891096175) which contains all the chapters in this book plus some more wonderful chapters adding up about 60 pages. So, if you are interested in studying this topic in more detail, ... Read More

Rating: - Deals With the Questions We All Wrestle With
Jerry Bridges originally wrestled with these issues in his 1988 book, Trusting God. He continues to ask tough questions. How does what we believe about God fit in with our experiences of life in a fallen world that is filled with disappointments, pains, trials and even sometimes tragedies? How do we reconcile our understanding that the Bible teaches that God is good and that God is sovereign (in control of all things), when, as the old book title says, bad things happen to good people? Bridges is a man ... Read More
