Behind the Tears

Understanding, surviving & growing from suffering

Behind the Tears has been shortlisted for the 2023 SparkLit Australian Christian Book of the Year!

In Behind the Tears, Dr Bruce Robinson discusses the different types of suffering that people experience today, how to understand why God allows it, and, most importantly, how to survive it. He also provides advice for the family members, friends, and for churches when someone in their midst is suffering–i.e. ‘how to help, not hurt.’ Finally, he talks about how anyone can grow from suffering into a warmer, brighter future.

Some of the key issues discussed are:

  • How common suffering is
  • Why God allows it
  • How to grow from suffering
  • Practical tips for those who suffer
  • Practical tips for those who care for sufferers
  • Practical tips for friends and churches
  • Grief
  • Cancer, mental illness, chronic diseases, and pain
  • Conflict, anger, disappointment, and bitterness
  • How to grow from suffering and turn it into service of others

The Wheels of Financial Blessing

Many Christians struggle with questions like “Does it please God for us to be poor?” “Should a Christian be rich?” “Why am I struggling financially even though I tithe or give?” “Why am I always stressed about money?”

This Biblically balanced book will help you to live a life that honours God and to experience His blessing in your finances. John here uses a powerful metaphor: If your financial world was a car, your forward progress is limited to the condition of its four wheels. Each wheel is equally important and represents a vital component in your approach to money.

The Wheels of Financial Blessing is easy to read and full of personal stories, and you’ll find it immediately applicable to your life.
