What Is God Up To With All This Adversity in Life?

$15.00

We live with an immense tension in life. On one end we have a loving, heavenly Father who promises to protect and provide for us. He pours his life and blessing upon us in his Son by the Spirit. That is the joyful side. On the other side of the tension is all the rough stuff that happens in life – suffering of various hardships. What is God up to when we find ourselves amidst this tension for prolonged seasons? Suffering is not an abstract concept when we are in pain. Life can be confoundingly painful at times. What is the Father up to? How might we be aware and respond? We will honor the complexities of life as we wrestle with this tension. Nothing is beyond his redemptive reach, even when the pain has us at our limits.
