Why?

Seeing God In Our Pain

by Bill Crowder English

About this item

Why Do We Suffer?

Pain and suffering. While each of our circumstances is unique, these common experiences beg that one big question, "Why?" "Why?" seeks to trace the root and causes of our pain and suffering from a biblical perspective. Suffering is actually a byproduct of one of God's greatest gifts to His creation—the gift of choice. And exercising that freedom of choice can result in great difficulties and challenges. The good news is that God also knows suffering—for our sins—and that He not only understands our pain, but He promises to be with us in it.
