When God Weeps: Why Our Sufferings Matter to the Almighty Paperback - 2000
by Joni Eareckson Tada; Steve Estes
After more than 30 years in a wheelchair, Tada has a special understanding of God's intentions for believers in their pains. In "When God Weeps", she and Estes hold this peerless perspective out as a gift to readers. With firmness and compassion, they reveal a God big enough to understand suffering, wise enough to allow it, and powerful enough to use it for a good greater than anyone can ever imagine.
First line
Long, long before matter existed, before the cosmos took its first breath, before the first angel opened his eyes, when there was nothing-God had already lived forever.
From the rear cover
If God is loving, why is there suffering? What's the difference between permitting something and ordaining it? When bad things happen, who's behind them--God or the devil? When suffering touches our lives, questions like these suddenly demand an answer. From our perspective, suffering doesn't make sense, especially when we believe in a loving and just God. After more than thirty years in a wheelchair, Joni Eareckson Tada's intimate experience with suffering gives her a special understanding of God's intentions for us in our pain. In When God Weeps, she and lifelong friend Steven Estes probe beyond glib answers that fail us in our time of deepest need. Instead, with firmness and compassion, they reveal a God big enough to understand our suffering, wise enough to allow it---and powerful enough to use it for a greater good than we can ever imagine
