Trusting God

Even When Life Hurts!

By: Jerry Bridges

Narrated by: John Haag

Because obeying God makes sense to us, in most cases, His laws appear reasonable and wise, and even when we don’t want to obey them, we usually concede that they are good for us. But the circumstances we find ourselves in often defy explanation. When unexpected situations arise that appear unjust, irrational, or even dreadful, we feel confused and frustrated. And before long, we begin to doubt God’s concern for us or His control over our lives.

Adversity is hard to endure and can even be harder to understand. If God were really in control, why would He allow the tragic Auto accident or crucial job loss? How could He permit cancer in a loved one or the death of a child? Grappling with His concern for us we ask, “Why is God allowing this?” or “What have I done wrong?”

In an effort to strengthen his own trust in God during a time of adversity, Jerry Bridges began a lengthy Bible study on the topic of God’s sovereignty. What he learned changed his life, and he now shares the fruit of that study with you in Trusting God.

As you begin to explore the scope of God’s power over nations, nature, and the detailed lives of individuals, you’ll begin to acknowledge His loving control. And as you come to know Him better, you’ll find yourself trusting Him more completely—even when life hurts.

Will Definitely Listen Again!

Jerry Bridges does an excellent and thorough job explaining both the sovereignty and goodness of God. He doesn't dare suggest he knows all the why's of God's ways, but ensures the reader that God's ways are always for His glory and our good, therefore, we can and should trust Him.

Foundational and Transformational

Listened to this as a believer of 38 years and it revitalized a trust in God that was sorely needed. Not revolutionary truth, just a survey with some in-depth looks at truth I was already familiar with just needed it all connected together in one focused study

A must!

So essentially for your walk with God! So encouraging to understand how to trust God while going through hard times! It's not easy, and this breaks it down beautifully...

Excellent book and reader!

This was one of my favorite books on audible - every aspect of trusting God was given and helped me in my walk with the Lord. Through the good and the difficulties God is trustable and faithful! I am going to get this book to read on my kindle as well.

Truth filled

Full of God’s word and scripture based truths. Sometimes the reading felt a bit dry but cannot fault the content. Overall a good read.
