How Should I Approach Suffering?

In this broken world, we’re often threatened by deep heartache and enduring pain. Even if we’re prepared, suffering can catch us by surprise. But Christians can be certain of this: Our pain has a purpose in God’s good plan, and the Savior who suffered is still with us when we hurt.

In this booklet, Dr. R.C. Sproul offers pastoral counsel to help us trust God in our darkest days. As we learn from biblical examples of those who looked to the Lord in their distress, we can be equipped to face suffering without losing sight of the goodness and sovereignty of God.

The Crucial Questions booklet series by Dr. R.C. Sproul offers succinct answers to important questions often asked by Christians and thoughtful inquirers.
