In God's Waiting Room: Learning Through Suffering

In March of 1982, barely nine months after his 50th wedding anniversary, Rev. Lehman Strauss received the crushing news that his wife had been stricken by a massive stroke. While spending days, weeks and even months at his suffering wife's side, Rev. Strauss learned that some trials in life go on very slowly indeed. As we sometimes find ourselves in a doctor's waiting room, we also sometimes find ourselves in God's waiting room. "Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: Wait, I say, on the Lord." (Psalm 27:14) In God's Waiting Room, written while Rev. Strauss and his wife were going through a time of testing, the author takes his vast knowledge of Scripture and organizes it into nine chapters of courage and comfort for those who are also waiting on the Lord. About the Author Lehman Strauss taught Old Testament history for eight years at Philadelphia Bible Institute and served as pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church in Bristol, Pennsylvania from 1939 to 1957. Strauss served as pastor of Highland Park Baptist Church (Highland Park, Michigan) until the end of 1963 when he resigned to devote himself to a full-time itinerant Bible conference and evangelistic ministry both in the States and abroad. Strauss taught on the national weekly radio broadcast, "Bible Study Time." Dr. Strauss was residing in Florida and writing his 19th book at the age of 86 when the Lord called him home in June 1997.
