Why does a loving and merciful God permit suffering? In When the Soul Groans, Mac Carol explores this deeply personal question through Scripture, spiritual insight, and thoughtful reflection. Written as a series of daily reflections, this first volume offers comfort and perspective to those carrying their own burdens or seeking to understand the suffering of others. Each meditation invites readers to bring their questions, doubts, wounds, and struggles into the presence of God while reflecting on faith, grief, loss, and hope. Rather than dismissing the mystery of suffering, When the Soul Groans encourages readers to look beyond easy answers and discover how faith can endure even in life's darkest seasons. It is a thoughtful companion for anyone seeking spiritual encouragement, deeper trust, and a renewed awareness of God's presence.
