From the back cover:
Why, in a world of love, is there so much pain? Is pain God's big mistake? Is there a message behind the suffering? Where is God when it hurts?
Here is a true inspirational classic, a revealing, loving, and powerful book that deals realistically with crises of pain and suffering in all our lives. Philip Yancey takes us into his own life and others' lives to witness what few of us have ever seen: the true purpose of pain. Using examples from the Bible and the spiritual experiences of lifetimes, WHERE IS GOD WHEN IT HURTS? frees us from fear and opens new doors of understanding and hope.
"A classic.... It probes aspects of pain that C.S. Lewis never touches and draws upon the lives of suffering saints from John Donne to Joni Eareckson."
-William J. Petersen, ETERNITY
"I've read everything I can get my hands on about the problem of pain and evil, and this book is the clearest, most practical thing I've read."
-Keith Miller
"By the time you get to the end of these chapters your heart is crying out, 'Thank you, God, for pain!'"
-Paul Harvey News
"What a book. A masterpiece."
-Jerry Jenkins, MOODY MONTHLY
