One of the people I love most in the world has Cushing's Disease. When I recently mentioned two books on suffering I've read that are very good (Faith on Trial by Martyn Lloyd Jones and How Long, O Lord: Reflections on Suffering & Evil by D.A Carson), she also recommended The Hidden Smile of God:The Fruit of Affliction in the Lives of John Bunyan, William Cowper, and David Brainerd by John Piper.
These books are good if you are suffering, and they are also good if you just want a greater understanding of God and suffering.
i love jesus and the good news ... that through his death and resurrection he offers us reconcilation with the loving, sovereign, and holy god of the universe. yay!
