Paul Tripp knows what it’s like to go through something difficult like an abrupt and painful illness, and he writes this book for those who share painful experiences with him.
Suffering is never abstract, theoretical, or impersonal. It is real, tangible, personal, and specific. The Bible never presents suffering as an idea or concept, but rather presents it to us as a blood-and-guts drama of real human experiences. It exposes the traps that fear, envy, doubt, and discouragement set for us to turn us away from the truth of the Word in which we find comfort in God's grace. His presence, His Sovereignty, His purpose in the midst of His people shelter us so that we can, even in the midst of suffering, have a heart at rest in the redemption of Christ. He comforts us knowing that there is no valley of suffering so deep that the grace in Jesus is not deeper.
