Tim Challies discussing his family’s grieving process regarding the loss of his son, 46:30 to the end of video.
I decided to embed the entire video for those who might want to hear something in the latter 40 minutes, from topics noted above video excerpt. I don’t usually embed videos because if they are removed by YouTube or the channel, they disappear from this blog too.
Narrative and links that accompanied video at YouTube:
Which books should every Christian bookstore remove immediately? Which ones should they make sure and stock up on? Author, blogger, and book reviewer Tim Challies joins the podcast today to give his opinion on the best 3 and worst 4 books every church book store should be aware of. We also talk about his new book, Seasons of Sorrow, about the tragic and sudden passing of his son, Nick and how Tim and his family have navigated that loss. Tim reflects on the goodness of God, the problem of suffering and evil, and whether or not his opinion on certain “bad books” has changed in light of his personal season of sorrow.
