Information on How Long O Lord? from the publisher:

Primarily, this is a book of preventative medicine. One of the major causes of devastating grief and confusion among Christians is that our expectations are false. We do not give the subject of evil and suffering the thought it deserves until we ourselves are confronted with tragedy. If by that point our beliefs--not well thought out but deeply ingrained--are largely out of step with the God who has disclosed himself in the Bible and supremely in Jesus, then the pain from the personal tragedy may be multiplied many times over as we begin to question the very foundations of our faith.

Description of D.a. Carson, author of How Long O Lord?:

A clear and relevant study that both prepares Christians for suffering and helps them in the midst of it. This book of reflections applies biblical principles to life's difficulties.
