Turkish Title: Acı Çekilirken Tanrı Nerede?

Original Title: Where is God When it Hurts?

Author: Philip Yancey

Sensitive and caring, Acı Çekilirken Tanrı Nerede? is a unique book as it discusses pain--physical, emotional, and spiritual--and helps us understand why we suffer from it and how to cope with our own and that of others.
 

Using examples from the Bible as well as the author's personal experiences, this expanded edition speaks to everyone for whom life sometimes doesn't make sense. Philip Yancey can help us discover how to reach out to someone in pain even when we don't know what to say. It shows us how we can learn to accept without blame, anger, or fear that which we cannot understand.

This is Philip Yancey's first book to be published in Turkish. His popularity around the rest of the world has won him awards and made his books hit the best-seller lists in many countries.

For Turkish friends and colleagues, this is a wonderfully easy-to-read and down-to-earth book. Yancey's writing is like having a good and caring friend sit beside you and yet he's a friend who has unlimited wisdom and an honest, loving relationship with God.

Amazon readers of the English language edition said:

'I read this book as a chronic pain sufferer. I found it very readable at a time when I didn't feel like reading anything.

He starts by explaining how pain as a response in the human body is actually useful. He then turns to look at what happens when the pain system doesn't function properly with a few very moving case studies. Finally he adds some very useful and practical tips for dealing with pain (either for yourself or to help others).

Along the way we learn that it wasn't part of God's original plan for his people to be in pain. There won't be any bad pain in heaven (yeah!) This book is both practical and spiritual.

Excellent for those in pain / suffering illness or those who know people who are'.
