When God Weeps
IF GOD IS LOVING, WHY IS THERE SUFFERING?
When God Weeps
Why Our Sufferings Matter to the Almighty
Joni Eareckson Tada and Steven Estes
When suffering touches our lives, questions like this suddenly demand an answer. From our perspective, suffering doesn’t make sense, especially when we believe in a loving and just God.
After more than thirty years in a wheelchair, Joni Eareckson Tada’s intimate experience with suffering gives her a special understanding of God’s intentions for us in our pain. In When God Weeps, she and lifelong friend Steven Estes probe beyond glib answers that fail us in our time of deepest need. Instead, with firmness and compassion, they reveal a God big enough to understand our suffering, wise enough to allow it—and powerful enough to use it for a greater good than we can ever imagine.
