Well-written book on suffering

Glorious Ruin by Tullian Tchividjian

The problem of suffering grasps most of us around the throat at some point in our lives.  Tullian Tchividjian, author and pastor, says it is not a question of why but rather who?  Most of the questions we ask, like Job’s, are beyond us.  Instead of trying to moralize (find the why) or minimize (my pain isn’t that bad) our suffering, we should dwell on the presence of our suffering Savior, who understands our pain.

Tullian Tchividjian takes a fresh, compelling and compassionate look at suffering.  He uses examples from his own life and from the lives of others, including Job.  His book takes an honest look at our pain and helps us to use it to seek comfort from our Savior.  This book gives new insight into ministering to others in painful circumstances.  It is a must read for everyone who has ever suffered or ever will suffer.  I received a free copy from the publisher and this is my honest review.
