The Role of Pain and Death in the Christian Life

$7.00

 

This is an ePub eBook. Please read our FAQs about eBooks.

El sufrimiento a menudo parece sorprendernos. Un día estamos sanos, cómodos y felices. Al siguiente nos encontramos enfermos o heridos, sufriendo y angustiados. El dolor que invade nuestras vidas puede venir de nuestro propio sufrimiento o el de un ser querido. Pero sin importar la fuente, no lo vimos venir. Muy a menudo, nuestra perplejidad nos lleva a sospechar que Dios ha fallado.

En este libro clásico, el Dr. R.C. Sproul argumenta que no debemos sorprendernos por el sufrimiento, sino que debemos esperar dolor y tristeza en esta vida. Algunos son llamados a una «vocación» de sufrimiento, y todos nosotros estamos llamados a sufrir el sufrimiento final de la muerte. Dios promete en Su Palabra que vendrán tiempos difíciles sobre nosotros, pero también promete que Él permite el sufrimiento para nuestro bien y Su gloria, y que nunca nos dará más de lo que podamos soportar con Su ayuda.

El Dr. Sproul ofrece consejo bíblico sólido y consuelo para los que sufren y para los que ministran a los que sufren, consejo que ayuda a los creyentes a soportar los tiempos de prueba con la fe en un Dios que es tanto amoroso como bueno.

Suffering often seems to catch us by surprise. One day we are healthy, comfortable, and happy. The next we find ourselves ill or injured, struggling, and distraught. The pain that invades our lives may come from our own suffering or that of a loved one. But no matter the source, we didn‘t see it coming. All too often, our perplexity prompts us to suspect God of wrongdoing.

In this classic book, republished in a revised and expanded edition, Dr. R.C. Sproul argues that we should not be surprised by suffering; instead, we should expect pain and sorrow in this life. Some are actually called to a “vocation“ of suffering, and all of us are called to undergo the ultimate suffering of death. God promises in His Word that difficult times will come upon us, but He also promises that He allows suffering for our good and His glory, and He will never give us more than we can bear with His help.

Dr. Sproul offers solid biblical counsel and comfort for those undergoing suffering and for those who minister to the suffering, counsel that helps believers stand in times of trial with faith in a God who is both loving and good.


Endorsements

“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.”

—Dr. Paul David Tripp

“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.”

—Rev. John P. Sartelle Sr.
