Synopsis

God does many things we do not understand, but that doesn't keep us from wanting to understand. When faced with suffering, sickness, death, and confusion, most of us want to know why? Beloved writer Elisabeth Elliot knew too well this feeling of uncertainty. But she also knew that God is faithful to answer us in our distress.

On Asking God Why offers honest insights into many of today's most prevalent heartaches, including sickness and death, family issues and loneliness, aging and hopelessness. Chapter by chapter, this insightful book will remind you that God invites his children to lay our questions before him--because in him we will find every answer we need.

About The Author

Elisabeth Elliot (1926-2015) was a missionary and a critically acclaimed author and speaker. For over half a century, her life of obedience, timeless teachings, and best-selling books have influenced both believers and seekers of the Christian faith. Elisabeth life work was to share these deep things: the trustworthiness of God, the blessings of obedience, the hope of joy in the midst of sorrow, the call to love one’s enemy, the priceless treasure of purity, and the true meaning of Biblical womanhood and manhood. Having written over twenty books, some of her most distinguished writings include, Passion and Purity, Let Me Be a Woman, Shadow of the Almighty, Through Gates of Splendor, and The Savage My Kinsman. The latter three chronicle Elliot’s missionary work and the life and martyrdom of her husband Jim Elliot. She is survived by her husband Lars Gren, her daughter Valerie Elliot Shepard, and eight grandchildren. Today, her legacy lives on through the work of the Elisabeth Elliot Foundation.

I am never disappointed in the writing of Elisabeth Elliot. I had planned to read parts of this to my elderly mom after she broke a second hip six months after her first hip fracture. However I ended up reading it to myself as it was a bit too complicated for a read aloud to my mom. Elliot’s practic......more

Goodreads review by Stephanie on February 25, 2016

A collection of essays on trusting God and thinking through some of life's difficult issues and questions. Most chapters were full of wisdom and Elisabeth's no-nonsense encouragement, although there were a couple that felt more like filler - these I enjoyed less and might not read again. My favorite......more

Goodreads review by Kristen on June 23, 2022

Per usual, Elisabeth Elliot’s words are timely and rich with wisdom from God’s Word. This book in particular ministered to me in a challenging time. She covers a wide range of topics of the human experience. One line that stood out was, “It’s self-death and eternal life, or it’s self-life and eterna......more
