The Medicinal Effect of Seeing God To Be As Big As He Truly Is.

One of the most helpful things that we can do before and during times of suffering is to gaze upon our good and sovereign God. If it were not true that God was sovereign and good it would not be good to think of Him as such, but since it is true, it is very helpful to see Him in all of His glory.

This resource helps to do that very thing.

Suffering and the Sovereignty of God

In the last few years, 9/11, a tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and many other tragedies have shown us that the vision of God in today’s churches in relation to evil and suffering is often frivolous. Against the overwhelming weight and seriousness of the Bible, many Christians are choosing to become more shallow, more entertainment-oriented, and therefore irrelevant in the face of massive suffering.

In Suffering and the Sovereignty of God, contributors John Piper, Joni Eareckson Tada, Steve Saint, Carl Ellis, David Powlison, Dustin Shramek, and Mark Talbot explore the many categories of God’s sovereignty as evidenced in his Word. They urge readers to look to Christ, even in suffering, to find the greatest confidence, deepest comfort, and sweetest fellowship they have ever known.
