Three books on God and disease, disability, or suffering have arrived in the past two days. I am thrilled!
Sue Hume, who writes Hope for Special Moms, highly recommended Brokenness: How God Redeems Pain and Suffering, by Lon Solomon. Pastor Solomon is the senior pastor for McLean Bible Church, which has one of the most dynamic and comprehensive disability ministry programs in the United States.
Jeff McNair, writer of the blog disabled Christianity and a professor of special education at California Baptist University, recently published five years of his blog in his book, The Church and Disability.
And the one I am probably most excited to receive is a compilation of 25 readings on the problem of pain, which was recommended by Justin Taylor. Justin recently interviewed the editor of this compilation, Nancy Guthrie, on the book, Be Still My Soul: Embracing God’s Purpose & Provision in Suffering.
I hope to read and comment on each in the coming weeks.
The Works of God 
Too Wise To Be Mistaken; Too Good To Be Unkind (Christian Parents Contend With Autism) by Cathy Steere
should be in this list. It is the only book out there w/a thorougly biblical mindset and worldview, w/practical help for parents.
The Unexpected Gift by Michelle Schreder is terrific theologically and personally.
Thanks for the list, I will check it out. My favorites are “Don’t waste your sorrows” by Billhemmer, and with dealing with infertility in addition to disability, “Hannah’s Hope’ by Saake.
Add one more to you list, one I downloaded the other night in PDF by Amos Van Der Merwe FACING SURGERY WITH CHRIST: FOR GOD’S SAKE, GIVE CHRIST THE SCALPEL. Very merciful from a doctor in the word. Very practical too.
