God's Grace in Your Suffering (Paperback) by David Powlison

It’s easy to see God’s grace when things are going well. But in the midst of suffering—when we don’t sense any positive change in our circumstances on the horizon—we can start to question God’s goodness.

Exploring the biblical truths found in each stanza of the classic hymn “How Firm a Foundation,” experienced biblical counselor David Powlison invites us to hear God’s perspective and see God’s purpose in our suffering. Rather than offering abstract theory or mere sentimentality, Powlison writes to anchor our hope in the God who promises to be with us and transform us in the midst of even our darkest trials.

An personal and tender help in suffering

I read this as part of a BCUK module and found it incredibly fruitful when facing my own suffering and burdens. Powlison is tender and personal as he reaches into our struggles and helps us see how God is the greatest comfort and promise of hope in the darkest times. The writing is simple, concise and tangible making it easier to access when our own struggles are hard to look at. I've given copies to friends and they have found it helped them too.
