Why does a loving God allow His people to suffer?
When tragedy strikes, this question echoes in every heart. In Struggling with “Why?”, Alistair Huong confronts this timeless question through his own life-changing experience—paralyzed from the neck down and facing what seemed like the end. Yet through that dark valley, God revealed truths that transformed both his suffering and his faith.
Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and the writings of Ellen G. White, this pocket sharing book shows seven reasons God allows His children to face pain, loss, and hardship. Each one reveals a facet of divine purpose that turns suffering into strength and struggle into spiritual growth.
- Grounded in Scripture – Explore biblical insights into the purpose of pain and the process of refinement.
- Deeply Personal – Follow one man’s story of paralysis, prayer, and miraculous restoration.
- Hope-Filled and Practical – Discover how faith can endure—and even thrive—through life’s hardest trials.
Struggling with “Why?” reminds us that God never wastes pain. Every hardship has meaning. Every trial refines faith. And through it all, the hand of a loving Savior is shaping His people for eternity.
The fact that we are called upon to endure trial shows that the Lord Jesus sees in us something precious which He desires to develop. If He saw in us nothing whereby He might glorify His name, He would not spend time in refining us. He does not cast worthless stones into His furnace. It is valuable ore that He refines. —The Ministry of Healing, 471
