New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet Timothy Keller—whose books have sold millions of copies to both religious and secular readers—explores one of the most difficult questions we must answer in our lives: Why is there pain and suffering? Walking with God through Pain and Suffering is the definitive Christian book on why bad things happen and how we should respond to them. The question of why there is pain and suffering in the world has confounded every generation; yet there has not been a major book from a Christian perspective exploring why they exist for many years. The two classics in this area are When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Rabbi Harold S. Kushner, which was published more than thirty years ago, and C. S. Lewis’s The Problem of Pain, published more than seventy years ago. The great secular book on the subject, Elisabeth Ku¨bler-Ross’s On Death and Dying, was first published in 1969. It’s time for a new understanding and perspective, and who better to tackle this complex subject than Timothy Keller? As the pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, Timothy Keller is known for the unique insights he shares, and his series of books has guided countless readers in their spiritual journeys. Walking with God through Pain and Suffering will bring a much-needed, fresh viewpoint on this important issue.

Offers an inspirational and compassionate approach to understanding the problems of life, and argues that we should continue to believe in God's fairness.

A revolutionary approach to dealing with life's challenges that guides readers in how to face them and to recognize them as gifts from God. At one time or another everyone finds themselves questioning, "Does God still love me? Is there a purpose for all this pain?" Drs. Meier and Henderson teach readers how to face painful struggles head-on in a way that allows them to grow and mature emotionally and spiritually. In this timely book they explore the seven most common life challenges: Injustice Rejection Loneliness Loss Discipline Failure Death In addition they offer the three reasons we often miss the gifts these challenges can be. This unique approach to an age-old problem will encourage and challenge readers to grow through their struggles instead of wasting energy trying to avoid them altogether.

Pain is something that is inevitable in the earthly realm. Some pain, we can manage through and eventually get over it, yet some pain that we endure causes lifelong battles and even weaknesses that we fight and struggle with every day. Some struggles causes us to think that God left us or that He would not even want us because of our weakness, but what if it was the opposite? It was Paul in his second letter to Corinth that detailed his conversation with the Heavenly Father. He stated that he possessed a thorn that he asked to be taken from him on three separate occasions, but God answered back and told him that His grace is all that Paul needed, and His strength was made perfect in Paul's weakness. So Paul decided that he would rejoice in everything that he had to go through, because when he was weak, God's strength was there to complete him. What God showed Paul, He also is trying to show us. Today's generation has many different struggles and weaknesses, and they have learned grown to mask themselves as anger, depression, which leads to many different sad situations that we see in everyday life, such as murder, suicide, violence, etc. This generation has ran from the church because instead of loving and instructing, the church has turned into a judgmental, self-righteous form of a god that does not exist. Once the true nature of God is revealed and the feel of his genuine love is found, one will see that there is truly a purpose for everything encountered up to this point. The pain was necessary for the birthing of your purpose! That is what this book is all about, reaching a generation to let them know that there is truly a purpose in every suffering and trial that we must go through. There is a cycle that many people are stuck in because they have no idea how to unlock the promise that God has for them, just like Xavier didn't. He thought God had left him, so in turn, he went in the opposite direction, drowning himself deeper and deeper in sorrow. But each and every word and idea in this book is for a specific purpose: to oppose every demonic spirit that tries to hold the mind captive through the hurt and pain we experience.

What type of pain are you experiencing in your life? Physical? Spiritual? Emotional? Have you ever wondered why? What is the purpose of the pain? Join the author as she takes you on a journey through her life of physical pain, spiritual pain, and emotional pain where she learned that all pain has a purpose. She was born into a Southern family who had migrated to the North, bringing with them skeletons of pain that they passed on to the next generation. Travel through the years with her and learn how God took the pain of alcohol, drugs, physical abuse, addictions, death, false accusations, and health and revealed the purpose for those life-changing, painful experiences. Read how God used the pain of her spine, infertility, lumpectomies, and so many other physical pains to refocus her on growing His kingdom. Reflect on your current pain so that you too can one day hear those words "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

The Purpose in the Pain summarizes the fact that life comes with pain from the many challenges and tragedies we face. However, it is though these pains that the purpose God has for our life is realized. While the challenges are at times heart wrenching and the option of giving up is viable, God and His Word catapults us into a season of hope. Purpose in the Pain informs the reader that it is okay to start over, have moments and yet move forward towards the destiny which God has mapped out for their life.

When the scripture states that, "All things work together for the good," that doesn't only mean when the circumstances are working in our favor that it's working for our good, that also means when things aren't going our way and it looks like we won't make it, it is still working for our good. We must begin to see the positive in everything we go through, seeing things through the lenses of God and not through the lenses of our past circumstances or even our current situations. We must see things the way God intends for us to see them. We must seek answers to the problems we are facing through prayer and fasting because sometimes God will use adverse situations to bring us to the place He predestined for us. I will share testimonies of how God makes a miracle out of a mess and then take you from the PIT to the PALACE! Once we have gone through the fire and come out as pure gold, that is when we begin to see the pieces of the puzzle fitting together to reveal the real picture behind the confusion of our lives. Armed with a new view of our future destinations, we become more loving, more trusting, more cooperative with not only the will of God transpiring in our lives, but with others whom God has connected to us in order to transition us to the place He intends for us to go. It isn't until we yield completely to the Lord that we can witness the true manifestation of the Power of God coming alive in our lives. God is calling us to a deeper walk with Him. He is calling us to go places we've never been, to do things we've never done, and to experience the love of a Father we've never had.It is my prayer that you will realize that nothing the enemy does in your life will abort the plan of God if you surrender to God's will. No matter what curve ball the enemy throws you in life, it won't stop you from reaching your destiny. You will become the woman or man of God that He has called you to be.
