Winner of the Gold Medallion Award and an inspirational best-seller for over twenty years, 'Where is God When it Hurts?' has been revised and updated by the author to explore the many important issues that have arisen during that time. Sensitive and caring, this unique book 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.

Yancey was born in Atlanta[3] and grew up in nearby suburbs.[4] When he was one year old, his father, stricken with polio, died after church members suggested he go off life support in faith that God would heal him. This and other negative experiences with a rigid, conservative, fundamentalist church background contributed to Yancey's losing his faith at one point and deeply questioning the established church at other times.[5][6] After high school he attended Columbia Bible College in South Carolina, where he met his wife, Janet.[7] He went on to earn graduate degrees in communications and English from Wheaton College Graduate School and the University of Chicago.
