Philip Yancey Where Is God When It Hurts?-有话问苍天

良善慈爱的上帝为什么允许苦难伤痛存在？人生为什么会有苦难？是上帝预定了人类的苦难吗？是他命定了受虐待的童年，精心策划了一场场空难，驾着龙卷风横扫整个海岸吗？是他上紧了这个世界的发条，眼睁睁地看着人类家园的各个角落苦难纷呈、分崩离析，却站在一边袖手旁观吗？

这些问题几乎人人都会问，几乎人人都得不到完满的答案，因此每个人内心都在追寻思考更深层的意义。在人生的旅程中，是否有前人的思考洞见，可以减少人们的探索时间，平息人们无助的天问？

《有话问苍天》 就是这样的一本书，作者用圣经中的例子和自己的亲身经历，从身体、情感和心灵层面考察痛苦的根源，回答了为什么会有痛苦这回事、痛苦是来自于上帝的旨意吗、人应该如何回应苦难、面对痛苦等问题，帮助读者理解为什么要忍受和承受苦难，更认识这个世界的本来面目。

本书为那些人生遭遇不测和嗟叹命运不公之人而写，也为那些热心帮助受难者却又不知如何安慰无从下手的人，提供了切实可行的帮助和指导。

本书亦不同于一般的心理辅导和心灵关怀的书籍，作者从信仰、生物医学、社会关系学等角度出发，论述纵横捭阖，观点大胆新颖，不仅奠定了他成为一流作者及思想家的地位，而且对人生、生命、命运、苦难、爱的终极拷问，切实带给人眼睛一亮进而击掌叫好的安慰和思考。

书名：Where Is God When It Hurts?《有话问苍天》

作者：Philip Yancey

简介：If there is a loving God, then why is it that … ? You’ve heard that question, perhaps asked it yourself. No matter how you complete it, at its root lies the issue of pain. Does God order our suffering? Does he decree an abusive childhood, orchestrate a jet crash, steer a tornado through a community? Or did he simply wind up the world’s mainspring and now is watching from a distance? In this Gold Medallion Award–winning book, Philip Yancey reveals a God who is neither capricious nor unconcerned. Using examples from the Bible and from his own experiences, Yancey looks at pain—physical, emotional, and spiritual—and helps us understand why we suffer. Where Is God When It Hurts? will speak to those for whom life sometimes just doesn’t make sense. And it will help equip anyone who wants to reach out to someone in pain but just doesn’t know what to say.
