Synopsis

Because obeying God makes sense to us. In most cases, His laws appear reasonable and wise, and even when we don’t want to obey them, we usually concede that they are good for us. But the circumstances we find ourselves in often defy explanation. When unexpected situations arise that appear unjust, irrational, or even dreadful, we feel confused and frustrated. And before long, we begin to doubt God’s concern for us or His control over our lives. Adversity is hard to endure and can even be harder to understand. If God were really in control, why would He allow the tragic Auto accident or crucial job loss? How could He permit cancer in a loved one or the death of a child? Grappling with His concern for us we ask, “Why is God allowing this?” or “What have I done wrong?” In an effort to strengthen his own trust in God during a time of adversity, Jerry Bridges began a lengthy Bible study on the topic of God’s sovereignty. What he learned changed his life, and he now shares the fruit of that study with you in Trusting God . As you begin to explore the scope of God’s power over nations, nature, and the detailed lives of individuals, you’ll begin to acknowledge His loving control. And as you come to know Him better, you’ll find yourself trusting Him more completely—even when life hurts.

Goodreads review by Jeff on September 21, 2016

Christians of yesteryear used to speak of events and circumstances as not being due to “second causes.” This was a quaint way of speaking of God’s sovereignty. And this is where Bridges begins. If we are to trust God, we must believe He really is in control of our lives, that He is wise in His deali......more

Little did I know when I endeavored to read this book with my dear friend, Debbie, that the Lord would immediately use it for my good and His glory. As my husband lay in a hospital bed on a ventilator in January, truths from this book were fresh and the Lord called them to my mind. I am forever chan......more

Goodreads review by Starley on January 14, 2024

I think my life would have looked much different these past two years if I had started reading this book sooner and actually applied the things I read. This book is challenging, convicting, encouraging, and practically helpful. Bridges has compassion and sympathy for the weak and faint-hearted, but......more
