If God Is So Good, Why Do I Hurt So Bad?
"Don't worry. Things will get better soon." "Everything will be fine." "It'll all work out for the best" Have you heard these or other polite clichés on suffering? David B. Biebel has. When his son died of a rare genetic disorder, Biebel heard many of these sincere but inadequate words of comfort from friends and family but still struggled with one question: if God is so good, why do I hurt so bad? In this powerful book, Biebel leaves behind the all-too-familiar platitudes and instead offers the unvarnished truth about the pain of illness, death, divorce, financial ruin, and more. With keen insight and a Christian outlook, Biebel puts God right by your side to help you sort through your hurt and see the value in your trials. His real-life examples and honest approach will help you turn pain into a meaningful journey toward hope and happiness. "A very effective tool for those who are suffering."-Michael J. Miller, M.D., University of Texas, M. D. Anderson Cancer Center David B. Biebel is the editor of Today's Christian Doctor and president of Hope Central Ministries. A writer and health educator, he is also the author of numerous books, including the award-winning New Light on Depression, which he co-wrote with Harold Koenig.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
