Dark Threads the Weaver Needs

people of God since time began. After all, if our God

is both a loving and an all-powerful being, why does He

allow such pain and suffering in the world?

At the age of eighty-two, legendary Bible scholar Dr.

Herbert Lockyer took on this question. As he watched

his wife of sixty-six years slowly fade from loving spouse

to an incapacitated person who needed his constant care,

it caused him to look upon her afflicted, helpless form,

and ask, O my God, why?

In this outstanding work, Lockyer does not present ideas

on how to cope with suffering but teaches how to pass

through it, removing self-pity and using personal trials as

a springboard to help others. In the midst of his darkest

hour, Lockyer examines the problem of human suffering

in light of God's love and His eternal plan.
