My soul is in anguish. How long, O Lord, how long?' (Psalm 6:8) Personal tragedy and heartache. Accident, illness and infirmity. Drought, earthquake, tsunami. Terrorist atrocities. War, genocide, poverty, famine. All we have to do is live long enough, and we will suffer in one way or another. In this new edition of an excellent, widely appreciated study, Don Carson addresses the issue of evil and suffering with sensitivity, pastoral concern and biblical insight. He helps Christians prepare for the day when they have to experience a 'frowning providence', and face it with faith and hope because of an unshakable trust in the providence of God.

"Large military posts have been examined in detail in numerous books written about the Texas frontier, but the importance of smaller outposts and picket stations has been generally overlooked. In Standing in the Gap, Loyd M. Uglow examines these smaller outposts in relation to the larger forts that controlled them and explores their significance in military strategy and the pacification of the frontier. The army's role in the settlement of West Texas has been, until now, explained through biographies of prominent officers and histories of both Indian campaigns and the larger forts. With only passing mention of outposts such as Grierson's Spring, Van Horn's Wells, and Pecos Station in these texts, the stories of minor posts have gone, for the most part, untold.".

"All my life, God, the Father, was standing in the gap created when my biological father gave up his quest to be reconciled with my mother. However, I didn't realize God was there for me until I was almost forty years old. At that time, I discovered a new reality of His presence when cancer invaded our family, a frenzied teenager tried to kill our daughter, Val, our best friend was brutally murdered, and we discovered a psychopath stalking our daughter, Robin. I believe the key to this new reality was starting each day by reading the Bible and making notes about what I thought God was saying to me. Through this process I worked through my rebellion against a God who wanted to start the on-going process of transforming my life into the image of His son, Jesus Christ. He waited patiently for me to open the door of my heart to His Lordship. Are you entirely satisfied with your life or do you question the reality of you faith in the cruicible of trials? Have you wondered if life is fair or questioned why a loving God would allow pain and suffering? "Standing in the Gap" will show you that God the Father is standing at the door of your heart right now. He will never force His way in. My prayer is that this book may empower you to make the most important decision of your life a decision to open the door." www.betweenthesacredandthecommon.com
