A road beyond the suffering: An experiential journey through the book of Job
by Dick Allen Rader, Sue Rader
Category: Bible

A Road Beyond the Suffering contains moving letters written back and forth between husband and wife, Dick and Sue Rader. After their missionary career in Africa was cut short due to Sue's lengthy illness, their twenty years of marriage slowly began to unravel as they tried to adjust to their new lifestyle in America. In these letters about Job, Dick and Sue express their inner struggles with God's goodness, justice, and power in the context of their own life-changing experiences. Through writing to each other, Dick and Sue not only discovered that God is persistently trying "to turn back his (man's) soul from the pit, that the light of life may shine on him" (Job 33:30), but they also found that God was healing their relationship with each other.
