"If there is a loving God, then why is it that … ?
You’ve heard that question, perhaps asked it yourself. No matter how you complete it, at its root lies the issue of pain.
Does God order our suffering? Does he decree an abusive childhood, orchestrate a jet crash, steer a tornado through a community? Or did he simply wind up the world’s mainspring and now is watching from a distance?
In this Gold Medallion Award–winning book, Philip Yancey reveals a God who is neither capricious nor unconcerned. Using examples from the Bible and from his own experiences, Yancey looks at pain—physical, emotional, and spiritual—and helps us understand why we suffer. Where Is God When It Hurts? will speak to those for whom life sometimes just doesn’t make sense. And it will help equip anyone who wants to reach out to someone in pain but just doesn’t know what to say."
Un bon livre qui nous relate honnêtement les difficultés que représentent, pour un chrétien, les questions de la douleur, de la souffrance et de l'impuissance à faire quelque chose.
C'est bon de lire un message chrétien (profondément chrétien) réaliste (profondément réaliste) sur ces questions, sans éluder l'exceptionnel inexplicable (qu'on nomme "miracle"). Ce livre fourmille d'exemples concrets, et porte à la fois la réalité désespérante et la réalité espérante. Du bon Yancey.
