Finding God in Suffering

.....

Retreat leader, spiritual guide and author of Honest to God Prayer and Clergy Table Talk

This book takes an honored place on the shelf of Bruce Epperly’s large number of published works. The author brings readers to look into the face of suffering, one of life’s most difficulty experiences. Using the experience of Job as a lens, Epperly empathetically helps us name the multiple dynamics in experiences of suffering. In dialogue with the theology of the book of Job and the wider family of process theology, the author helps us articulate a way of understanding God’s presence in suffering in which God is not responsible for such devastating turns of events, but in which God is ever present, ever in solidarity, and ever in support in love. Written in touch with deep human experience, in pastoral theological tone, and with clarity, this book is an excellent resource for individual reading and for group discussion. As a preacher, I have to note that it has many passages that will make their way into sermons in the coming years.
