As a pastor, Dr. Connor Bales has tackled tough questions about suffering for years. Using the Bible as a guide, he’s answered questions like:
How should Christ-followers respond to suffering?
What if our calling is to suffer?
How do we respond when our loved ones suffer?
But, it's his own experience as a father and fellow sufferer that has equipped him to pen a poignant new book, In Counted Worthy: A Father’s Perspective on the Theology of Suffering.
Connor Bales shares the unique calling he and his wife, Mary, have been counted worthy of stewarding in raising two children with a rare genetic disorder. From the initial confusion and questions of "why" to the practical exhaustion resulting from endless tests, treatments, and visits to the emergency room-to the emotional, physical and spiritual toll they've experienced as a family, Bales leaves nothing off the table.
