Looking back on our lives, Kathy and I came to realize that at the heart of why people disbelieve and believe in God, of why people decline and grow in character, of how God becomes less real and more real to us-is suffering. And when we looked to the Bible to understand this deep pattern, we came to see that the great theme of the Bible itself is how God brings fullness of joy not just despite but through suffering, just as Jesus saved us not in spite of but because of what he suffered on the cross. And so there is a peculiar, rich, and poignant joy that seems to come to us only through and in suffering. In this anticipated book, Timothy Keller explores one of the most difficult questions in life: Why is there so much pain and suffering in the world? And how do we handle it in a way that won’t destroy us, but could actually make us stronger and wiser? Many books attempt to explain evil and suffering intellectually, while others offer mere inspirational stories. In this book, Keller attempts to unify the complex questions and experiences related to suffering. He explores the philosophical problem of suffering, then the rich biblical teaching on the subject, and finally the actual experience of dealing with suffering in the most practical terms. This will be an indispensable resource to everyone who wants to prepare themselves or others to face the inevitable prospect of pain and suffering.
Walking with God through Pain and Suffering may be the most comprehensive contemporary book on the subject. And for me, that’s saying something. The book is incredibly well researched, yet it is impossibly personal. Keller has a way of taking the walking wounded by the hand and gently placing it in the Savior’s.
– Joni Eareckson Tada for The Gospel Coalition
I can’t think of a better resource for understanding suffering, enduring it with hope, and helping others whose suffering runs too deep for any word except the Word.
– Gerald L. Sittser for Christianity Today
Tim Keller has written one of the year’s most important books (a line I seem to recite annually). His newest — Walking with God through Pain and Suffering — is a wise, Christ-centered, comforting book for readers who hurt, and offers counsel to readers who anticipate future suffering. It’s a book for everyone, and it releases tomorrow from Dutton.
To mark its arrival, I pulled my favorite quotes from the book and narrowed the list down to my top 20.

Suffering. Is there a more perennially and painfully relevant topic? Countless books address the subject—and countless sufferers read them. Beneath the sometimes shiny veneer, after all, this world is a profoundly tragic place.
Christian books on suffering tend to fall into one of three camps. Some are philosophical, written to address the “problem of evil” and other complex questions from a typically scholarly perspective. Others are theological, intended to survey the breadth of God’s Word to see what it has to say about affliction and evil. Still others are pastoral, designed to give down-to-earth devotional help to those locked in the grip of pain.....

New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller - whose books have sold millions of copies to both religious and secular readers - explores one of the most difficult questions we must answer in our lives: Why is there pain and suffering?
Walking with God through Pain and Suffering is the definitive Christian book on why bad things happen and how we should respond to them. The question of why there is pain and suffering in the world has confounded every generation; yet there has not been a major book from a Christian perspective exploring why they exist for many years.
The two classics in this area are When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Rabbi Harold S. Kushner, which was published more than thirty years ago, and C. S. Lewis’s The Problem of Pain, published more than seventy years ago. The great secular book on the subject, Elisabeth Ku¨bler-Ross’s On Death and Dying, was first published in 1969. It’s time for a new understanding and perspective, and who better to tackle this complex subject than Timothy Keller?
As the pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, Timothy Keller is known for the unique insights he shares, and his series of books has guided countless readers in their spiritual journeys. Walking with God through Pain and Suffering will bring a much-needed, fresh viewpoint on this important issue.

Suffering is like the Great Wall of China. There’s no way around it. Many are personally suffering at the present moment. Others are not, but are nevertheless rightly troubled by it. Both groups of people will inevitably ask the question–why? But they’ll ask it in different ways.
Let’s look at the general problem of suffering with the question: How do we understand it? And then the personal problem: How do we survive it, how do we face it?
This special talk and Q&A were held at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 2, 2013.

En este esperado libro, Timothy Keller, cuyo estilo se dirige tanto a los lectores religiosos como a los seculares, explora una de las preguntas más difíciles de la vida: ¿por qué hay tanto dolor y sufrimiento en el mundo? ¿Y cómo lo manejamos de manera que no nos destruya, sino que en realidad pueda hacernos más fuertes y sabios?
Muchos libros intentan explicar el mal y el sufrimiento intelectualmente, mientras que otros ofrecen meras historias inspiradoras. En este libro, Keller intenta unificar las preguntas y experiencias complejas relacionadas con el sufrimiento. Explora el problema filosófico del sufrimiento, después la rica enseñanza bíblica sobre el tema y, finalmente, la experiencia real de tratar con el sufrimiento en términos más prácticos. Servirá como recurso indispensable para todos los que quieran prepararse, o preparar a otros, para afrontar la perspectiva inevitable del dolor y el sufrimiento.

Hvad gør vi, når vi erfarer, at vi ikke har kontrol over vores eget liv? Når ulykken rammer og sygdommen og døden kommer til os?
Det reflekterer Timothy Keller over i denne bog. Han sætter fokus på, at lidelse er et livsvilkår og ønsker at hjælpe os til at leve livet godt, selv om det gør ondt. For lidelsen er ikke bare et livsvilkår, den er også en primær vej til at erfare, hvem Gud er i al hans magt, vælde – og kærlighed.
»Keller har ikke vor tids dennesidige, terapeutiske tilgang til lidelsens problem, men heller ikke en dogmatisk, filosofisk tilgang. Jeg mener simpelthen, at her er en bibelsk fremstilling, som er fantastisk værdifuld. Jeg synes kort sagt, at det er en fremragende god bog! Den behandler det ondes problem og lidelsens problem i så stor en kontekst, at det virkelig giver tyngde. Her er ingen letkøbte svar.«

“SE VOCÊ CRÊ EM JESUS E DESCANSA EM SEUS BRAÇOS, O SOFRIMENTO ESTARÁ PARA O SEU CARÁTER ASSIM COMO O FOGO PARA O OURO.”
“Você deseja saber quem é, quais são seus pontos fortes e fracos? Deseja ser uma pessoa compassiva que sabe ajudar os que estão sofrendo? Quer confiar tanto em Deus que não se abalará com as decepções da vida? Deseja ter sabedoria para direcionar a vida? Esses quatro desejos comuns são cruciais, mas nenhum deles é alcançado sem sofrimento. Não há como saber quem realmente somos até sermos provados. Não há como demonstrar empatia e solidariedade para com as pessoas que sofrem, a não ser que tenhamos sofrido. Não há como aprender de verdade a confiar em Deus até começarmos a afundar nas águas.”
Explicar por que Deus permite dor e sofrimento no mundo é uma questão que tem exasperado o ser humano há milênios. Timothy Keller, autor de obras que já venderam milhões de exemplares no mundo inteiro, para leitores religiosos ou não, analisa essa questão mostrando que há sentido e razão por trás de nossa dor e sofrimento e defendendo o argumento forte e inovador de que essa parte essencial da experiência humana só pode ser superada pela compreensão de nosso relacionamento com Deus.
