WHY DOES IT HAVE TO HURT?
By Dan G. McCartney
Presbyterian & Reformed. 133 pages
ISBN 0 87552 386 2

McCartney's task is to explore the experience of Christian suffering and prepare us for it before it comes.

He begins with the problem of suffering in a world ruled by a good God, moves via God's sovereignty and an exploration of Job into four reasons why Christians suffer today, and then how we handle the experience. He concludes with an exposition of eight psalms. This is an exceptionally good and short book on a notoriously difficult topic.
