Pandemics, Plagues, and Natural Disasters: What Is God Saying to Us? - Paperback

by Erwin W. Lutzer (Author)

Where is God When We Suffer?

God's silence in the midst of human suffering is a great mystery of our existence. Faced with mass suffering, such as pandemics, plagues, and natural disasters, we may wonder whether God actually cares about us or whether He just says that He does.

Pandemics, Plagues, and Natural Disasters: What is God Saying to Us? helps explain the role of God in suffering. Dr. Erwin Lutzer examines how God uses tragedies throughout the Bible to speak to His people, and that, ultimately, God always has our well-being in mind even when He doesn't relieve our immediate pain. Perhaps most importantly, find lasting joy and relief by learning how times of such widespread trouble reveal God's ultimate plans for our salvation from all temporary and eternal suffering.
