If there is a loving God, then why is it that ... ?You've heard that question, perhaps asked it yourself. No matter how you complete it, at its root lies the issue of pain.Does God order our suffering? Does he decree an abusive childhood, orchestrate a jet crash, steer a tornado through a community? Or did he simply wind up the world's mainspring and now is watching from a distance?In this Gold Medallion Award--winning book, Philip Yancey reveals a God who is neither capricious nor unconcerned. Using examples from the Bible and from his own experiences, Yancey looks at pain---physical, emotional, and spiritual---and helps us understand why we suffer. Where Is God When It Hurts? will speak to those for whom life sometimes just doesn't make sense. And it will help equip anyone who wants to reach out to someone in pain but just doesn't know what to say..
La saga di Egil racconta la lunga e brutale vita del guerriero-poeta e contadino Egill Skallagrímsson, un personaggio moralmente ambiguo che era al contempo compositore di poesia intricatamente bella e capace di una brutalità sconcertante. La saga narra la progressione di Egil dalla giovinezza selvaggia alla saggezza matura mentre lotta per vendicare l'esilio di suo padre dalla Norvegia, difendere il suo onore contro il re norvegese Erik Bloodaxe e combattere per il re inglese Athelstan nelle sue battaglie contro la Scozia. Esplorando questioni diverse come la fedeltà, il potere della poesia e il rapporto tra due fratelli che amano la stessa donna, la saga di Egil è una rappresentazione affascinante di un personaggio profondamente umano.
