Walking With a Limp
Barry ChantPaperback 2014-09-15
Why keep going when it hurts?
Why should we keep going if there is some easier way? What is the point?
The reality is that everyone walks with a limp. Like Jacob of old, we find ourselves bruised and battered after struggles we did not ask for and encounters we did not seek. We can resist them. We can give in to them. We can try to escape them. But what if God is in the encounter? What if he is using it for purposes that may be unknown to us or beyond our understanding?
Dr Barry Chant deals with these questions in everyday language. He acknowledges that there are no glib answers to the issue of suffering. How we think about God will determine how we respond. God is faithful and good. In Jesus he himself suffered for us. By trusting God we can find hope and encouragement in our suffering.
This is not a 'How to' book so much as a 'Why to' book. When everything seems against you, this book will give you a reason to keep going - even with a limp.
