Description :
About the Author: Yancey was born in Atlanta, Georgia. When Yancey was one year old, his father, stricken with polio, died after his church elders suggested he go off life support in faith that God would heal him. This was one of the reasons he had lost his faith at one point of time. Yancey earned his MA with highest honors from the graduate school of Wheaton College. His two graduate degrees in Communications and English were earned from Wheaton College Graduate School and the University of Chicago.
Yancey moved to Chicago, Illinois, and in 1971 joined the staff of Campus Life magazine-a sister publication of Christianity Today directed towards high school and college students-where he served as editor for eight years. Yancey was for many years an editor for Christianity Today and wrote articles for Reader's Digest, The Saturday Evening Post, Publishers Weekly, Chicago Tribune Magazine, Eternity, Moody Monthly, and National Wildlife, among others. He now lives in Colorado, working as a columnist and editor-at-large for Christianity Today. He is a member of the editorial board of Books & Culture, another magazine affiliated with Christianity Today, and travels around the world for speaking engagements.
Yancey was critically injured in a motor vehicle accident in February 2007 but recovered well. By August 2007, he had completed his goal of climbing all 54 of Colorado's 14,000-foot-plus peaks, the final three after his accident. (Chinese Only)
良善慈爱的上帝为什么允许苦难伤痛存在？
人生为什么会有苦难？
是上帝预定了人类的苦难吗？
是他命定了受虐待的童年，精心策划了一场场空难，驾着龙卷风横扫整个海岸吗？
是他上紧了这个世界的发条，眼睁睁地看着人类家园的各个角落苦难纷呈、分崩离析，
却站在一边袖手旁观吗？
这些问题几乎人人都会问，
几乎人人都得不到完满的答案，
因此每个人内心都在追寻思考更深层的意义。
在人生的旅程中，是否有前人的思考洞见，
可以减少人们的探索时间，平息人们无助的天问？
《有话问苍天》 就是这样的一本书，作者用圣经中的例子和自己的亲身经历，
从身体、情感和心灵层面考察痛苦的根源，回答了为什么会有痛苦这回事、
痛苦是来自于上帝的旨意吗、人应该如何回应苦难、面对痛苦等问题，
帮助读者理解为什么要忍受和承受苦难，更认识这个世界的本来面目。
本书为那些人生遭遇不测和嗟叹命运不公之人而写，
也为那些热心帮助受难者却又不知如何安慰无从下手的人，
提供了切实可行的帮助和指导。
本书亦不同于一般的心理辅导和心灵关怀的书籍，作者从信仰、生物医学、社会关系学等角度出发，论述纵横捭阖，观点大胆新颖，不仅奠定了他成为一流作者及思想家的地位，而且对人生、生命、命运、苦难、爱的终极拷问，切实带给人眼睛一亮进而击掌叫好的安慰和思考。
读完这本书，我觉得自己刚刚经历了一趟心灵的洗礼。这本书对痛苦的彻底洞察，是路易斯（C.S. Lewis）都从来不曾触及到的。
——威廉·J·皮特森
20世纪70年代中期，我撰写《有话问苍天》时，不过20岁出头。当时，我没有恰当地解决痛苦这个可怕的问题，却为苦难者写下了《有话问苍天》这本书。现在我要重新修订和增订本书，部分原因是这些年来我听闻了太多苦难。从某一方面来说，这本修订版是我与读者的对话，也是我人生旅程的另一个阶段。
在书中我特别增订了第四部分——我们怎样面对痛苦，因为我相信上帝命令教会要向苦难的世界彰显他的爱。通常我们只会想到，痛苦是一个我们要向上帝发出的问题，其实，这个问题也是他要问我们的——“我们怎样回应苦难者？”
