Por Quê? (Série Descobrindo a Palavra)│ Why? (Discovery Series Booklet)

POR QUE SOFREMOS?

As experiências de vida de cada pessoa são muito individuais, mas diante do sofrimento todos se perguntam "por quê?". Com isso tentamos descobrir a raiz de nossa aflição. Temos alguma responsabilidade por nosso sofrimento? A Bíblia nos oferece respostas que nos ajudam a compreender a vontade de Deus mesmo em meio à dor. Em Por quê? Vendo Deus em nosso sofrimento, Bill Crowder explora a perspectiva bíblica do sofrimento e mostra a realidade da presença divina conosco, mesmo nos vales mais profundos.

BILL CROWDER uniu-se a Ministérios Pão Diário depois de mais de 20 anos de pastorado. É nosso Vice-presidente de conteúdo e um dos autores do devocional Pão Diário. Também viaja ministrando ensino bíblico a líderes de todo o mundo.

Why do we suffer?

Pain and suffering. While each of our circumstances is unique, these common experiences beg that one big question, “Why?” Why? seeks to trace the root and causes of our pain and suffering from a biblical perspective.  Suffering is actually a byproduct of one of God’s greatest gifts to His creation—the gift of choice. And exercising that freedom of choice can result in great difficulties and challenges. The good news is that God also knows
suffering—for our sins—and that He not only understands our pain, but He promises to be with us in it.

Bill Crowder joined the Our Daily Bread Ministries staff in 2001 after more than 20 years in the pastorate stretching from West Virginia to southern California to west Michigan.

Bill is a contributing writer for the Our Daily Bread devotional and has written many Bible study booklets for ODBM’s Discovery Series. He has also published a number of books with ODB Publishing, the latest being Wisdom for our Worries and Gospel on the Mountains.
