Keith Dow explores Timothy Keller’s new book on navigating pain and suffering with faith. He highlights how suffering often intersects with disability and the value of trustworthy resources. The post emphasises the importance of genuine support and understanding in difficult times.
Suffering isn’t always to be identified with disability, but in many cases it is a real part of the lives of people with disabilities and their families. Timothy Keller, pastor at Redemer Presbyterian Church in New York City published a book this month titled Walking with God through Pain and Suffering. There are many books on suffering and faith, and so it can be difficult to know which ones are actually useful and which ones are reiterations of messages we’ve all heard before.
Thankfully, Joni Eareckson Tada has reviewed this one for us, and after 46 years of quadriplegia she knows the difference between helpful and unhelpful resources on suffering.
