Product Description

Book Description

Philip Yancey's updating of his modern classic answers questions about how to come to terms with the tough times in your life.


From the Back Cover

Winner of the Gold Medallion Award and an inspirational best-seller for over twenty years, Where is God When it Hurts? Has been revised and updated by the author to explore the many important issues that have arisen during that time. Sensitive and caring, this unique book discusses pain--physical, emotional, and spiritual--and helps us understand why we suffer from it and how to cope with our own and that of others. Using examples from the Bible as well as the author's personal experiences, this expanded edition speaks to everyone for whom life sometimes doesn't make sense. Philip Yancey can help us discover how to reach out to someone in pain even when we don't know what to say. It shows us how we can learn to accept without blame, anger, or fear that which we cannot understand.

4.0 out of 5 stars A need responded to., 1 Oct 2002
This review is from: Where Is God When It Hurts? (Paperback)
I bought this book when my Uncle and Aunt were both diagnosed with cancer within weeks of each other. In the midst of a very confusing time it described a God that was compassionate and wise and taught me to rest in the security of knowing Him as that. It taught me not to expect safety of the body but safety of the soul. This book is easy to read but some of it's truths can be painful if you are suffering and angry - although that dosen't make them any less true!

5.0 out of 5 stars living with pain, 23 April 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Where Is God When It Hurts? (Paperback)
i read this book as a chronic pain sufferer. I found it very readable at a time when I didn't feel like reading anything.

He starts by explaining how pain as a response in the human body is actually useful. He then turns to look at what happens when the pain system doesn't function properly with a few very moving case studies. Finally he adds some very useful and practical tips for dealing with pain (either for yourself or to help others).

Along the way we learn that it wasn't part of God's original plan for his people to be in pain. There won't be any bad pain in heaven (yeah!)

This book is both practical and spiritual. Excellent for those in pain / suffering illness or those who know people who are.

5.0 out of 5 stars God is here and yes, it hurts!, 22 Mar 2001
This review is from: Where is God When it Hurts?: Beyond Suffering (Paperback)
Philip Yancey tackles this topic fearlessly. As a paraplegic still coming to terms with my own paralysis I found this book very helpful. He doesn't trot out the usual platitudes and he has the courage to say that we have all said the wrong thing in the belief that we were encouraging someone.

This is a book to keep and to ponder. The research is deep. For instance he spent a year talking to a self-help group of dying people. He also gives real life examples of many people who hurt.

The book begins with a treatise on why pain is necessary and can even be regarded as good. He then goes on to talk about pain in general - both physical and emotional.

This is a book for all who are hurting and those who have to live with them. It helped my wife and I greatly.

Dave Dean (T12 Paraplegic)
