God's Grace in Your Suffering
Where Is God?
There are never quick fixes or easy answers when it comes to suffering. But even when we can’t immediately see God’s hand—when the struggle is hard and painful—he is working. Weaving together Scripture, personal stories, and the words of the classic hymn “How Firm a Foundation,” David Powlison brings an experienced counselor’s touch to exploring how God enters into our sufferings, helping us see God working in our own particular struggles—and discover how God's grace goes deeper than we could ever imagine.
Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Heres a short book that is long on biblical wisdom for real life. I look forward to putting this book into the hands of those who struggle to connect the promises of the Bible with the painful realities of life in this world in a way that brings peace.”
Nancy Guthrie
author, Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament Bible study series
“Because David Powlison understands that profound good in our lives often emerges in a crucible of significant suffering, he is fit to lead us in a workshop on suffering and Gods grace. And thats exactly what Gods Grace in Your Suffering isa workshop where Powlison walks us through Scripture, the hymn How Firm a Foundation, and our (and his) experiences, that we may see Gods goodness and seek Gods grace in and through our suffering.”
Juan R. Sanchez
Senior Pastor, High Pointe Baptist Church, Austin, Texas; author, 1 Peter for You and Seven Dangers Facing Your Church
“Tender, refreshing, and thoroughly biblical, Gods Grace in Your Suffering is a cup of cold water for those in the desert of suffering. Writing from the perspective of both a fellow sufferer and a wise counselor, Powlison gently leads us to find Gods goodness, grace, and comforting presence in our pain. We see how God is at work in our trials and can bring gold out of our afflictions. My copy is well marked as I know I will refer to this insightful book again and again!”
Vaneetha Rendall Risner
author, The Scars That Have Shaped Me: How God Meets Us in Suffering
“Sometimes navigating the advice of others while in the midst of suffering can be an added trial. Powlison puts all of that to rest by giving readers the gospelshowing them the firm foundation of the Word. He puts the compass of Gods Word in our trembling hands and points us to true north: Christ himself.”
Gloria Furman
author, Missional Motherhood and Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full
“Whenever my friend David Powlison offers insights on handling hardships, I listen. Far from dispensing ivory-tower platitudes, David takes anchors from Scripture and bolts them firmly into our thinking, providing practical steps in embracing the God of the Bible who, incidentally, wrote the book on suffering. Davids wisdom has helped me through a significant portion of my years as a quadriplegic, and I highly commend Gods Grace in Your Suffering. What a great guide for those who, every day, journey the hard, bloodstained path to Calvary.”
