Good. Solid. Has two major testimonies and lots of theology. Helpful. No surprises. No trendy "new" ideas. Worth reading.

I hate to rate this book so low since I'm a fan of Ken Ham's work on Creationism. However, the book's premise is "Finding Hope in a World of Pain," yet, the content does not deliver on it's promise. The entire book tells two tragic stories, the first half, the accident that almost killed Carl Wieland, and the second half the rare brain disease that took Ken Ham's brother to heaven. Both are compelling stories worth telling, but neither draws enough application for the reader to glean lessons for their own lives.

Helpful and encouraging - it’s good to be reminded you’re not the only one who suffers. God is now and will always be sovereign. Nothing will ever change that. God has a plan and purpose for all that happens. God promises wisdom to those who ask. We will likely suffer in life - God promises to be with us. Just lots of good reminders and encouragement throughout.

I really enjoyed this book. This book is writen for a Christian that is sruggling with grief. I lost both my parents the past year and a half. This book shows that suffering is the result of sin. The two authors come at this from different persectives. Carl Wieland suffered himself as a result of a terrible accident and Ken Ham was a caregiver to a brother suffering from a debilitating nerological disorder. The authors used scripture and encouraged the reader.

This book is relevant to both Christians and non-Christians. If you've ever struggled with the question of why a loving God would allow pain and suffering, especially to nice people or Christians totally devoted to God, then this will go a long way to answering your questions. The answers come from the Bible, but also through the personal experiences of deep pain by the authors (Carl Wieland and Ken Ham).
