the heart! If you are stymied about God's goodness amidst life's
heartaches, then this book's for you.

Few people have lived-and continue to live-as deep a firsthand experience
of pain and loss as Nancy Guthrie. For that reason alone her Christian
reading of the story of Job should lay special claim on readers
themselves undergoing suffering. But there are other inducements:
the clarity, grit, and honesty with which Nancy explains how she
has maintained hope a deepened faith where most would find only
heartbreak.
DAVID VAN BIEMA,

Nancy Guthrie's book offers hurting people companionship as well
as encouragement to pursue God in the midst of their suffering.
Pastors can recommend it with confidence that it will make a difference.

Only God could orchestrate such events. And only God could give the

questions why God allows loss and pain, Nancy shows us how to face
it. Read this book, recommend this book and hope that just a portion
of her courage and faith rub off on you.
