Please read this simple suggestion from Donald Whitney.

Please keep praying for your Romans 10:1 Five. And, do you wonder about how you begin talking about the gospel and Christ with unbelievers?

JOY AND SUFFERING

"Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of His body, the church."  Colossians 1:24

In my communion message on Sunday morning, May 2, I mentioned that Dr. John Piper's chapter about suffering in his book DESIRING GOD is worth the price of the book because it gives a quite thorough, God-exalting, Biblical perspective on the subject.  Here is another recommended book: SUFFERING AND THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD, edited by John Piper and Justin Taylor.  It contains chapters by Mark Talbot, Stephen Saint, Carl F. Ellis, David Powlison, John Eareckson Tada, Dr. Piper, and Justin Taylor.  And it is recommended by Jerry Rankin, President of the Southern Baptist International Mission Board.
