Since our trust and obedience rest on God`s character, the questions that life`s tragedies force us to face are difficult, even frightening. Who is God? Can he really be trusted? What are his purposes in the face of suffering? If he can stop suffering, why doesn`t he? Joni Eareckson Tada, a woman who has lived in a wheelchair for more than thirty years, and Steven Estes, a pastor and one of Joni`s closest friends, explore the answers. When God Weeps is not so much a book about suffering as it is about God. It tackles tough questions about heaven and hell, horrors and hardships, and why God allows suffering in this life.
