Summary: A well-written and biblically accurate source of comfort
Review: A well-written and biblically accurate source of comfort to those suffering. Finally, Christians have an answer to the popular book _When Bad Things Happen to Good People_ by Rabbi Kushner. I think the book is well-organized and theologically sound. Bridges clearly shows from a Bible perspective that God is sovereign, in control, and loving all at the same time.I commend this book to anyone who is suffering from a set back or tragedy. Bring your tough questions and even your anger over "WHY?", Bridges shows rightly that God stands with open arms ready to comfort us in our point of need.

Summary: A Real Life-Changer!
Review: As a Christian for 18 years, some books out of the many I have read stand out as true life-changers. Trusting God is one of them. One can read the Bible and books about God, go to church, pray to Him, and share with others about Him. But until we learn to really believe in His awesome power,interest and involvement in our lives, we fail to enjoy the truly rich life He offers us through trust in Him. Jerry Bridges teaches us this profound trust.

Summary: Superb Book
Review: This timeless book is biblically accurate and helps explain in a clear way God's sovereignty and and love in His personal dealings with each one of us. The workbook forces one to grapple with tough issues in light of Scripture. I've been through the study with a group where one member had terminal cancer and one had a second trimester miscarriage. Everyone found it not only helpful, but hopeful as well. I'd highly recommend it.
