This book was originally published in 1984 at a time when some people were promoting “process theology” and its collateral idea of a “limited God.” Their argument was that things are bad because God is too weak to do better. When He gets stronger, things will improve, and we help Him get stronger as we overcome our trials.

The grace of God is glue.”
The grace of God! That’s the answer God gave the apostle Paul when three times he asked God to remove his pain. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Cor. 12:9). In his poem “The Light of the Stars,” Longfellow wrote, “Know how sublime a thing it is to suffer and be strong.” If we experience more suffering, J ............
