Trusting God Study Guide: Even When Life Hurts

by Jerry Bridges

When everything we’re going through--pain, loss, tragedy, grief--suggests that God can’t help us or doesn’t care, it seems unwise to place our confidence in Him. But nothing could be farther from the truth.

This discussion guide to Trusting God by Navigator author Jerry Bridges features discussion questions that study what the Bible has to say about God's sovereignty, His mercy, and His love.

For individual or small-group discussion.

Reviews

[Julie]

I loved the book, Trusting God, but didn't feel that the study guide was necessary. I didn't finish it.

[Steve]

An excellent companion to the book.

[Kellye]

The best book on suffering in the Christian life. This is my second read, and it was just as fantastic the second time. Highly recommend.

[Jessica Geist]

Christians struggling to trust a God who has seemingly caused hurt and pain should read this book. The truths contained within aren't always easy to digest, but they do provide a perspective to help navigate the pains and disappointments of life. Readers looking to park on this theme for some time should read this book; for a more glancing treatment of understanding God in the midst of suffering, try Torn by Jud Wilhite.
