Fellow believer and/or thinker in quarantine!
You are welcome to join me for a new FaceTime group discussion on one of the hands-down best modern books on evil, Tim Keller’s, “Walking with God through Pain and Suffering” (Penguin 2015). It is a profoundly wise, philosophically sound and theologically powerful, Christ-centered, yet comforting book. It’s for the educated person who has been hurt and offers incredible counsel to us as we anticipate our uncertain future.

The Tentative date is April 6th, at 1:00 pm CST.
Once we have a sizable group we can nail down a new date and time.
Here are a few quotes from it:
“No matter what precautions we take, no matter how well we have put together a good life, no matter how hard we have worked to be healthy, wealthy, comfortable with friends and family, and successful with our career — something will inevitably ruin it.” (3)
“You don’t really know Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you have.” (5)
“In the secular view, suffering is never seen as a meaningful part of life but only as an interruption.” (26)
“Christianity teaches that, contra fatalism, suffering is overwhelming; contra Buddhism, suffering is real; contra karma, suffering is often unfair; but contra secularism, suffering is meaningful. There is a purpose to it, and if faced rightly, it can drive us like a nail deep into the love of God and into more stability and spiritual power than you can imagine.” (30)
