...by Timothy Keller.
Most Keller books I read are stuffed with my underlining of sentence after sentence, whole paragraphs I want to quote in future. Not so much this book - at least not til the latter third. This isn't a criticism, it's simply a different kind of book to his previous works. It's a book to soak yourself in, not so much when you are in the midst of suffering (though I think it would be helpful to many then) but more to prepare yourself for suffering.
No book can give easy answers to the subject. But Keller does give us some profound thoughts, whilst laying bear the problems a secular society experience when facing suffering, and a good deal on what we can do to be ready - ready to trust God, to be built up and improved by suffering, to keep going, to hope.
A great book.
