Why Me?: A Doctor Looks at the Book of Job by Diane M. Komp
Why me? When we suffer, when those we care about suffer, we ask God why. What does it mean? What good comes from such pain? The book of Job expresses this same pain and asks these same questions of God. In Job we find an innocent person experiencing extreme trials, searching for meaning in chaos, yet somehow he continues to praise God as sovereign. As a medical doctor, Diane Komp sees many innocent victims of debilitating disease. In Why Me? she reflects on the ancient story of Job, weaving in the stories of people who, like Job, live with intense suffering and grapple with God for answers. These age-old questions are not answered easily, but out of struggle and uncertainty. If you need to wrestle with God, this book is a good place to begin.
