Sickness and God

"Sickness and God" offers an honest, hope-filled journey through the mystery of pain and the promise of healing. Drawing on biblical witness from Genesis to Revelation, it examines why suffering entered our world and how God responds through both divine compassion and human compassion. You'll find clear-eyed reflections on sin's effects on body and soul, insights into mental and emotional disorders as part of our fallen condition, and practical guidance for comforting the sick with prayer, sacraments, and science.Far from sugar-coating hurt, this book equips readers to lament with integrity, build vibrant care networks in the local church, and speak boldly for justice in public health. It honors the stories of those living with chronic and incurable illness, explores the church's calling to advocate for the voiceless, and celebrates glimpses of healing that point toward the world God will one day restore.Ultimately, "Sickness and God" lifts its gaze to the new creation-where death, tears, and pain are no more-and shows how we can live today in the confident expectation of that glorious future. It is a compassionate companion for anyone seeking to find God's presence, purpose, and power amid life's deepest struggles.
