Surprised by suffering
Often, suffering seems to come upon us suddenly. One day we feel healthy, happy, and secure. The next day we are sick or injured, exhausted, and confused. The pain that invades our lives may stem from our own suffering or the suffering of someone close to us. But wherever it comes from, we do not notice it coming, and our confusion leads us to suspect God of wrongdoing.
In this classic book, republished in a revised and expanded edition, Dr. R. C. Sproul argues that suffering should not surprise us, but rather that we should be prepared for pain and sorrow in this life. Some do indeed have a “calling” to suffer, and we are all called to experience the ultimate suffering—death. The Lord promises in His Word that we will have hard times, but He also promises that He allows these sufferings for our good and His glory, and that He never gives us more than we can bear with His help.
Dr. Sproul offers sound biblical counsel and comfort for those who suffer and those who minister to the suffering, counsel that helps believers endure in times of trial with faith in a God who is loving and good.
Dr. R. C. Sproul was the founder of Ligonier Ministries, the first preacher and pastor of St. Andrew's Chapel in Sanford, Florida, and the first president of Reformed Bible College. He is the author of over one hundred books, including The Holiness of God.
Robert Charles Sproul was the founder and leader of Ligonier Ministries International in Orlando, Florida. He was a respected teacher, theologian, and pastor. He received degrees from Westminster College of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and the Free University of Amsterdam. He was the director of Serve International and senior minister at St. Andrew's Church in Sanford, Florida. Dr. Sproul was the author of over sixty books and hundreds of articles. He was the editor-in-chief of the Reformed Study Bible and the executive director of Tabletalk.

DescriptionContentAuthorDetailsThe book takes the reader to first-century Jerusalem, a whirlwind of political intrigue, religious conflict, and human tragedy. This is not just a familiar biblical plot – it is a story lived through the eyes of those who stood by. Their decisions, their doubts, their painful choices. This is a combination of historical accuracy and deep philosophy that reveals the human soul at the moment of its greatest trials. Faith and doubt, betrayal and forgiveness, hatred and love are intertwined here.

Переживши на собі життєдайну дію християнської любові, виявлену в гостинності, авторка переконливо закликає всіх без винятку християн практикувати у своєму житті цю важливу чесноту.

Evangelism in the modern world
DescriptionContentAuthorDetailsChristianity in the Western world is in decline. Church buildings in the United States and Europe are emptying and closing at an unprecedented rate.
How should the church respond to this?
In his short but powerful work, bestselling author Timothy Keller argues that this process should prompt us to rethink our mission entirely. Looking to the early church as a guide, church communities and individual Christians must examine themselves, their culture, and the Scriptures to develop a new missionary approach that engages with contemporary culture—an approach that makes the gospel compelling and credible for a new generation.
