There is a degree of controversy in the church today, about suffering. There are those, who teach that the church is not meant to suffer at all, but rather, that we are meant to live victoriously in this life. Some even teach, that the church is meant to take dominion in the earth and deliver the kingdoms of the world to the Lord, when He returns. And then there are those, who teach that we are to accept all forms of adversity in this life, as part of our suffering for the Lord, including poverty and sickness for example. Each side tends to accuse the other, of teaching error. But as with most doctrines in the bible, where there are two opposing views taught, invariably the truth of God's word, is found somewhere in the middle. This book examines just what God's word says, on the subject of Christian suffering.
