In this under 3 minute clip, Randy talks about his favorite chapter in the book that discusses how Christ is the only answer who is bigger than the questions.

In this audio clip, Randy Alcorn answers the question, "Does the church need to teach a theology of suffering?"  

In this audio clip, Randy Alcorn talks about how an idea that seems like a solution to the problem of suffering, brings its own set of problems that must be examined.

I’ve been attending and speaking at the C.S. Lewis Summer Institute at Oxbridge. Yesterday afternoon at one of the seminars, I talked about the problem of evil and suffering. 

The following moved me deeply. We asked permission to post it. It speaks for itself. My thanks to John Knight, John Piper and Desiring God.

When it comes to having perspective in this world, there are “look-at-ers” and there are “see-through-ers.” It was Norman Grubb who coined those terms, and he’s expressing the idea that you can look at something and just evaluate it on the surface, or you can look deeper.

I am currently going through a season of renewed suffering after a brief respite in the midst of many years of intractable pain...and frankly was struggling to accept God's purposes in allowing my suffering to be reintroduced in my life. I found comfort in this booklet as well as some chagrin that I had even questioned the purposes and wisdom of our amazing God.

Randy Alcorn teaches on Job 19 to staff at Family Life.

I appreciated this thought from Samuel Davies, an evangelical pastor and educator from the 1700's, especially as we seek to remember and celebrate Christ's death and resurrection in the coming days.
