Why do Christians suffer? Perhaps a corollary statement could be: why do bad things happen to good people? I am pretty sure many people might know some nice fellows who have suffered some tragedies- whether they are Christians, Muslims, Hindus or others without any religion. Even though the title refers to Christians, the truths and the experiences discussed in this book may well resonate with anyone, anywhere in the world. Although I have used examples from the Bible- this is because that is what I am very familiar with.
I have used some testimonies from real people who are still alive; who have gone through some challenges in their lives, but at the same time they did not curse God or accuse God of being wicked to them. Instead, they are getting on with their lives as if nothing had happened to them. I have included my own personal testimony of my struggles in life. So, what I have written in this book is not just theories but real and practical truths, which I believe can help anyone who may be going through challenges in their life and wondering why has God allowed this to happen to them?
The book was borne out of my own personal trials and tribulations in life. I must confess that many times I had wondered at the way my life had turned out to be. I am however very grateful to God that in spite of it all, I am still standing and above all, I am alive and well with my brain intact. Praise God.
