Preaching to sufferers grows from Kent Richmond´s own experience of his son´s death. From that tragedy, he was led to rethink his ideas about the nature of God. That reflection, in turn, led to a fresh sensiticity to the ways we must address those in pain and those who mourn the loss of loved ones.
With clear, sharp insight, Richmond discusses the problems that death and suffering create in our attempts to understand the goodness of God. He offers a fresh understanding of God´s goodnes and then shows in very practical ways how that understanding can help us minister to those in pain and grief.
