About this listen
Read by the author.
A must-listen for anyone who has ever asked God, "Why me?"
It's easy to trust God when things are going our way and the world makes sense. But when suffering strikes--especially seemingly senseless suffering--we are filled with doubt and stunned by events spiraling beyond our control.
In the midst of suffering, we often question the very foundation of our faith--our belief in the God who says he loves us. Since our trust and obedience rest on God's character, the questions that life's tragedies force us to face are difficult, even frightening:
- Who is God?
- Can he really be trusted?
- What are his purposes in the face of suffering?
- If he can stop suffering, why doesn't he?
Joni Eareckson Tada, a woman who has lived in a wheelchair for more than thirty years, and Steve Estes, a pastor and one of Joni's closest friends, explore the answers. When God Weeps is not so much a book about suffering as it is about God. It tackles tough questions about heaven and hell, horrors and hardships, and why God allows suffering in this life.
Through a panoramic overview of what the Bible says about suffering, the authors make clear who God is, why he permits so much heartache and pain, and how it is we can trust him. With both a practical edge and heartfelt warmth, When God Weeps offers dependence on his love and mercy in spite of our doubts, fears, longings, and questions.

Story
It's not what I lost. It's what I've found. I was only 17, just a girl, when God asked me for everything I had...my health, my hopes, my independence, my dreams, my freedom, and my mobility. He took it all. I was so angry with him that I tried to push him away. God relentlessly held me more closely. Looking back, 40 years later, I understand that God has changed and healed me - my heart and my mind - in the most unexpected ways, giving me rubies of his wisdom about an unbending faith and an experience of his mercy I can now tell you about.

Learning how to pray is one of the greatest challenges in a Christian's life. A. W. Tozer pointed out that the Church's greatest curse is unanswered prayer, and that many people do not seem bothered by that. Maybe they don't understand what answered prayer is all about. Tozer outlines this as only he can, describing the kind of prayer God answers and the kind of prayer that leaves Him silent. Ultimately, you have to ask yourself: are my prayers today more powerful and effective than they were a year ago? Our good Father wants them to be!

Story
It's easy to trust God when things are going our way and the world makes sense. But when suffering strikes—especially seemingly senseless suffering—we are filled with doubt and stunned by events spiraling beyond our control. In the midst of suffering, we often question the very foundation of our faith—our belief in the God who says he loves us. Joni Eareckson Tada, a woman who has lived in a wheelchair for more than thirty years, and Steve Estes, a pastor and one of Joni's closest friends, explore the answers. When God Weeps is not so much a book about suffering as it is about God.

Story
In this eloquent account of her current struggle with physical pain, Joni Eareckson Tada offers her perspective on divine healing, God’s purposes, and what it means to live with joy. Over four decades ago, a diving accident left Joni a quadriplegic. Today, she faces a new battle: unrelenting pain. The ongoing urgency of this season in her life has caused Joni to return to foundational questions about suffering and God’s will.

Story
It's easy to trust God when things are going our way and the world makes sense. But when suffering strikes—especially seemingly senseless suffering—we are filled with doubt and stunned by events spiraling beyond our control. In the midst of suffering, we often question the very foundation of our faith—our belief in the God who says he loves us. Joni Eareckson Tada, a woman who has lived in a wheelchair for more than thirty years, and Steve Estes, a pastor and one of Joni's closest friends, explore the answers. When God Weeps is not so much a book about suffering as it is about God.

What if Jesus doesn't heal you???
Gnarly book about what happens when Jesus wants you to not get better.
Ask and you shall receive???
Denied!
Asks a lot of tough questions about why God inflicts suffering on the world and church instead of healing us like when he walked the earth.
I guess we'll figure it out at the second coming.
I've listened to this book now at work about 5 times.
Excellent work.
Thought provoking.

Wow
Touched my heart. Joni notices God's glory in the darkest of places. She is a wonderful reader as well, bringing her own words to life. A joy to listen to.

All Should Read!
If you could sum up When God Weeps in three words, what would they be?
Very helpful. I recommend all Christians read or listen to this book. I have not read any other book other than the Bible that is more helpful to prepare ones self for life's ups and downs. It is a shortened "abridged" version compared to the book version of the same.

Words from the maestro of suffering
Joni Eareckson Tada has had a front row seat to suffering all of her adult life. She has scoured the scriptures and real life to produce a Masterpiece that answers the human question of “why”? With respect and grace she balances the scale of God’s sovereignty and His loving grace. One time is not enough: REREAD!

Joni is an inspiration!
I read her first book "Joni" about the time I graduated from high school. Her message and her life have inspired me throughout my life, and have given me hope in a world filled with so much suffering and pain, and a better understanding as to why God allows for such. It is for our ultimate good...to direct us to Him that we can rely fully on His promises and live with Him forever in Heaven.
