Travis set his cup on the table. This I could tell was to be no frivolous question. "What purpose does it serve to have a Christian believer struggle in life with problem after problem in great need while his sinful friends are prospering every day without a care in the world?" "What an interesting question!" I thought. "What purpose does it serve?" -excerpt from the Introduction Jon Bloom said, "We humans have an irrepressible need to make sense of the world and our experience in it." One of the most bewildering questions about life is why good people suffer continually while the wicked prosper without measure. Does God really have a purpose for the struggles Christians encounter on a daily basis? He does! And it is a magnificent purpose to be sure! Journey with me through the pages of this book, and you will find that "these temporary and insignificant struggles" are carefully designed tests that preparing us for a role filled with honor and distinction. These are tests that every Christian must take.
