Pt. 1. The challenge of suffering -- Pt. 2. Skillfull means for suffering redemptively -- Pt. 3. Fellowship in suffering.

How we relate to suffering depends on how we choose to respond to the everyday events of life. According to the author, who faces his own struggles with chronic depression each day, we need a new understanding of God's role in human suffering. The traditional view - that God is transcendent, "above" human suffering, somehow "beholding" and sympathizing with it - fails to take into account how God also experiences suffering. In this life-changing book, Morris challenges us - regardless of creed or denomination - to consider a biblical picture of God that is radically different from the traditional view. He reveals God's gracious and courageous participation in all aspects of our lives, both our sufferings, and our joys. --from back cover.
