Walking with God through Pain and Suffering
by Timothy Keller
Three parts: how cultures handle suffering, the philosophical problem, and the practical walk through it (weeping, trusting, praying, thinking, hoping). Keller's longest and most personal book, written as he began to face his own illness.
Read it if…
you want a thorough Christian treatment of suffering, both argued and pastoral.

Skip it if…
you want brevity; see A Grief Observed.
Try instead: Forgive: Why Should I and How Can I? →
Three things you will actually use
- Suffering is unbearable without a story.
- Walk, do not analyse, when in the fire.
- Hope is the furnace's purpose.
Do this first
Read Part Three if you are suffering now; Part One if you are not.
Our verdict
Argued and pastoral.
