God's Grace in Your Suffering
by David Powlison
Reviewed by Pat Beaty
A pastor whom we all know and love lent this book to me, and I knew it was going to be good because he told me he had put his name in it and wanted it back! I'm uncertain if I have overused these adverbs in the past in my zeal to get you to read books that I endorse, but here goes: I most “wholeheartedly” and “enthusiastically” recommend this book to you. It is hoped that you will not only read it, but that you will place it on your shelf for later re-reading. It is indeed impressive.
This book shows that God is at work even when life is hard and that God's grace is always available to us. The author uses Scripture, stories and the words of the hymn “How Firm a Foundation” to remind us of God's presence and faithfulness. He “brings an experienced counselor's touch to exploring how God enters into our suffering, helping us see God working in our own particular struggles...”
This remarkable book is both well-written and well worth your time. My hope is that this book will gove you the joy it has given me.
Happy Reading!
Pat
