Before M. R. DeHaan was teaching on Radio Bible Class, he was a physician and well acquainted with pain and suffering. Dr. DeHaan, in his book Broken Things—Why We Suffer, takes a biblical and practical look at suffering and helps you to discover that often it is through seasons of trial that God seeks to mold and shape you into His image. Applying the healing principles of God's Word, Dr. DeHaan  encourages those who have been scarred by loss of employment, health, or by the death of a loved one, to find both hope and peace.
