Endorsements
"God's Purposes in Our Pain is a striking and unique book. Berding and Krell explore the 'so that' passages in 2 Corinthians that reveal many of God's actual purposes in our suffering. This is a fruitful and enlightening study, and I am happy to recommend it."
— Randy Alcorn, Founder and Director, Eternal Perspective Ministries; author, Heaven
