Modern medicine, he declares, has too often become a noisy way to hide the gaping silences created by the painful experience of childhood illness and death. Alternatively, he shows us a God who "can give a voice to that pain in a manner that at least gives us a way to go on." --From publisher's description. 0aSufferingxReligious aspectsxChristianity. 0aChildrenxDeathxReligious aspectsxChristianity. 0aTheodicy. 0aMedicinexReligious aspectsxChristianity. 0aChristianityy20th century. 0aConsolation. 0aChristian ethicsxMethodist authors.
