Rogue Waves: The Problem of Pain & the Path to Peace (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781733200240)

Pain arrives like a rogue wave-sudden, overwhelming, and often unexplained. It can shatter our assumptions about God, ourselves, and the world we thought we understood. If God is good and all-powerful, why does suffering exist at all? And when it does, what are we supposed to do with it?

In Rogue Waves, pastor, teacher, and Amazon #1 bestselling author Steve Babbitt invites readers into an honest, compassionate exploration of suffering-one that neither dismisses pain with clichés nor surrenders hope to despair. Drawing from Scripture, lived experience, and centuries of Christian wisdom, this book traces a careful path: from pain's hidden purposes, to the deep wounds caused by human freedom, to the unexplainable suffering that feels like it comes from nowhere at all.

But this is not a book that stops at analysis. It moves forward-toward healing, forgiveness, and peace. Readers are guided through the hard work of releasing the past, refusing to pass wounds on to others, and learning to trust God even when answers remain out of reach.

Suitable for personal or small group study, Rogue Waves is for anyone who has asked "Why?"-and is ready, gently and courageously, to begin asking "What now?" It is an invitation to discover that while pain may shape our story, it does not get the final word. Peace does.
