I have been reading about a couple of topics lately that not many people in the United States and the western world do not like to discuss. In fact, I couldn’t even type the words. I think my computer is having problems and wouldn’t allow the letters to be put together to spell the words.

Several months ago the I began to sense the Lord leading me to learn more about what it means to “share in the suffering of Christ”. Here are a few of the books I have been walking through as a read and try to digest. I haven’t completed all of them but I am in process.

Suffering and the Sovereignty of God by John Piper and Justin Taylor

The Reason for God by Timothy Keller

If God is Good by Randy Alcorn

Any words you would like to add to this discussion I would love to hear them.

I would love to hear from you about passages of scripture that help you explain suffering to others.
