Habakkuk’s Tragedy is highly recommended for anyone seeking a serious yet compassionate guide through suffering. In a crowded field of books on grief and faith, Snodgrass’s work stands out for its exegetical integrity, emotional honesty, and gospel-centered hope. It equips readers to lament faithfully, question deeply, and trust stubbornly, knowing that the God who entered our broken world in Christ is present in every tear and promises to make all things new (Rev. 21:5). Pastors will find it a rich resource for preaching and counseling; lay readers will discover a companion that honors both their pain and their faith. This is a book that does not erase sorrow but walks with the reader through it toward enduring hope.

As Christians, we love to talk about God's blessings, His provision, healing, and miracles. We celebrate when prayers are answered with a "yes," when life feels good and faith seems straightforward. But what happens when the storm hits? When cancer strikes, a loved one dies unexpectedly, a marriage crumbles, or tragedy strikes without warning? In those moments, many of us quietly wonder: Where is God? Does He even care?
