"As an oncologist, I have the privilege of caring for people as
they 'walk through the valley of the shadow of death.' In such
times, people of faith find themselves faced with the most
troubling questions of human existence, namely those raised by
suffering and death. In Surprised by Suffering, R.C. Sproul
concisely and sensitively affirms what I believe to be the three
critical truths we need to grasp in order to persevere through
suffering and death. First, the inevitable and vocational nature of
death/suffering; second, God's sovereign redemptive purposes in
suffering; and finally, the certainty of eternal life in perfect
fellowship with Him and our fellow believers. I was delighted to
learn of this book's republication, and my reading of the
manuscript reaffirmed why we do not grieve as those who have no
hope."--James W. Lynch Jr., MD
"In Surprised by Suffering, John Calvin meets Florence Nightingale.
This is a rare work, a melding of the theologian and the pastor--a
book that looks straightforwardly at suffering and teaches,
explains, confronts, and comforts. Buy a dozen, as you will be
giving this one away to someone who is hurting in the world around
you."--John P. Sartelle Sr.
"It's a real gift to the church when a seasoned theologian, with
insights gained from years of personal experience and biblical
study, handles a tough topic like suffering. Here you will find the
wisdom of biblical perspective combined with the eternal hope of
the gospel leading you to greater rest in your Savior, even in
times of trouble. I am thankful for the new edition of this
book."--Paul David Tripp
