Glorious Ruin: How Suffering Makes You Free - Hardcover

In this life, one thing is certain: we will all experience pain and suffering, and most of us experience some form of it daily. Best-selling author Tullian Tchividjian shares in Glorious Ruin, which takes a hard look at the book of Job and the nature of suffering, thatit’s not about getting over it, getting out of it, or getting better afterwards. Suffering is truly about God’s presence in our lives in the midst of the pain. We may not ever fully understand why God allows suffering to devastate our lives. We may not ever find the answers as to why, or discover how we'll dig ourselves out of the pit. But we don't need answers as much as we need Him. For the life of the believer, one thing is beautifully and abundantly true: God's chief concern in your suffering is to be with you and be Himself for you. In other words, our ruin may not ultimately spell our undoing. It may even spell our beginning. It certainly did for Him.
