Every now and again I read a book that really hits home. D.A. Carson's book "How Long O Lord" was one of those books. After a year of ups and downs in the life of my family it did me well to hear about the suffering of the people of the Bible. At times all of us believe we are the only one suffering. Even more so, we fall victim to the belief that no one has ever suffered as much as are suffering or suffered. This book puts suffering in a biblical perspective. Suffering can always sanctify us, if we let it.
If you are thinking about reading this book, you should. Carson provides a clear, concise treatment of suffering and evil from a biblical standpoint. It is written on a pastoral level and deals with very real issues and circumstances.
