Why does God allow His children to suffer?
Most books on suffering are written after the trial has passed. This one is written in the middle of it.
Preacher Jon (Jonathan Keene) is living what he writes — the truck gone, the job lost, eviction looming, and no earthly rescue in sight. And yet, from the furnace of affliction, a fierce joy rises: “His will be done, not mine. His glory is supreme.”
In Why God Allows Suffering: Finding Purpose When Life Hurts, you’ll find more than words — you’ll find a testimony in real time. With the theological depth of a John Piper–style pastor and the raw honesty of a man clinging to God in the valley, Preacher Jon invites you to:
- See God’s hand in the disaster. Understand how loss and trials fit into His perfect plan.
- Find Christ’s presence when He feels absent. Learn to trust beyond your feelings.
- Reject comfort as the goal. Embrace holiness, obedience, and joy in the hard places.
- Turn scars into a testimony. Let your wounds preach the goodness of God.
- Anchor hope in eternity. Remember the day is coming when all things will be made new.
Every chapter is anchored in Scripture, written with urgency, and aimed at helping you endure your suffering with unshakable hope. This book will remind you that:
- Your pain is not wasted.
- Your story is not over.
- The God who wounds is also the God who heals.
Whether you’re in a storm now or standing beside someone who is, Why God Allows Suffering will point you to the only One who can redeem the deepest valleys and turn your darkest nights into eternal glory.
