God Speaks: Finding Hope in the Midst of Hopelessness
Overview
When pain or tragedy strikes, the first question most of us ask is, “Why?” The biblical book of Job tells the story of a man who lost everything—his children, his wealth, and even his health—and also wanted to know “why?” Why should he, a God-fearing man, suffer so much? Why did God allow it?
Job did not get the answer he expected. In fact, God asked questions of his own—70 questions, to be exact. In his response to a grieving, broken man, we can catch glimpses of hope in the midst of our own suffering. Ray Comfort explains that when God speaks, he transforms you and forever changes your perspective on suffering and faith.

As life inevitably takes each of us through sufferings similar to that of Job, we will no doubt have questions similar to those Job asked. ‘Where is God in all this?’ ‘Why doesn't He deliver me?’ God Speaks gives answers, and with those answers comes much-needed comfort.
—Kirk Cameron, actor and coauthor of Still Growing and Conquer Your Fear, Share Your Faith
The storms of this life are inevitable, and we know from scripture that only those who build their house on the rock will survive. God Speaks lays out God’s building plans through the gospel simply and succinctly. It is the perfect gift for those who don’t know the Lord as well as for those who need comfort in tribulation.
—Todd Friel, host, Wretched
