Product Description

Book Description

A practical and deeply biblical investigation of the problem of pain and a hopeful portrait of a God who weeps with us.


From the Back Cover

If God is loving, why is there suffering?
What’s the difference between permitting something and ordaining it?
When bad things happen, who’s behind them--God or the devil?

When suffering touches our lives, questions like these suddenly demand an answer. From our perspective, suffering doesn’t make sense, especially when we believe in a loving and just God.

After more than thirty years in a wheelchair, Joni Eareckson Tada’s intimate experience with suffering gives her a special understanding of God’s intentions for us in our pain. In When God Weeps, she and lifelong friend Steven Estes probe beyond glib answers that fail us in our time of deepest need. Instead, with firmness and compassion, they reveal a God big enough to understand our suffering, wise enough to allow it—and powerful enough to use it for a greater good than we can ever imagine

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard but, Oh! So True!, 7 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: When God Weeps: Why Our Sufferings Matter to the Almighty (Hardcover)
This is a hard book to read because it hits you right between the eyes with stark reality. But the book when When God Weeps: Why Our Sufferings Matter to the Almighty, by Joni Eareckson Tada and Steve Estes, is probably the best book I have ever read, it's deep but readable. Joni, is a paraplegic and has been wheel chair bound for 30 years. She is not only a woman of great faith, she is my new hero. From page to page the words leaps off the page with everlasting truth, and heart stopping, tear choking reality.

All Christians are called to suffer and all people are called to the vocation of dying. We all have loved ones who are going through, or have experienced terrible trials of suffering, and death. This book unlike any other I have ever read on the subject, paints a Biblical portrait of why we suffer. So get some kleenex along with this book, and get some ice cream too, because reading it is not all sad, but it is a magnificent testimony of immeasurable faith and truth after quotable truth.

Heaven will all be worth it someday.

Thanks Joni & Steve

5.0 out of 5 stars This book showed me just how much I am loved by God, 21 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: When God Weeps: Why Our Sufferings Matter to the Almighty (Hardcover)
Looking for answers when one of my daughter's friends was killed, I turned to this book. What I thought I would find I did, but it was what I wasn't expecting that made all the difference! God loves us more deeply than we could ever imagine!

5.0 out of 5 stars I have new perspective!, 8 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: When God Weeps: Why Our Sufferings Matter to the Almighty (Hardcover)
This book is the most conclusive I have read on suffering without trying to give pat answers for why we suffer. The answers are hard ones. Because the whole counsel of God is covered, I understand more than ever before why we suffer. Because all that we go through is intended for our growth as we establish God's unique purpose for our individual lives, we can rest in His love. We can rest in His foreknowledge that our lives would look as they do. This has greatly changed my attitude towards God as I have spent too much time being angry at how He has disappointed me. Thank you Joni and Steve for new perspective and new life!
