Description
Learning to See the Goodness of God through Suffering
Isn't God supposed to bless those who follow him? In one horrible year, Pastor Peter Chin and his wife, Carol, experienced burglaries, a miscarriage, a failed church plant, and worst of all, Carol's aggressive breast cancer. Why was God doing this?
Through it all, Peter came to grips with the reality of suffering, discovering a God who is wild and mysterious. But he also learned that whatever God does is good. A blend of memoir and teaching, " Blindsided by God" provides an inspiring illustration of how you can understand, and even be strengthened by, the suffering you experience in your own life.
