What advice would you give to people who are suffering and ask why they should desire Heaven when they feel they’re going through hell right now?
This world is the closest thing to heaven unbelievers will ever experience, and the closest thing to hell believers will ever know. The promise of Heaven, where there will be no more pain and sorrow and God will wipe away the tears from every eye (Revelation 21:4), should be a great encouragement to all Christians

What do you believe about God’s sovereignty?
I don't know of any way to give a good answer to this question in such a small space. But I believe that God is sovereign, and that He unfailingly accomplishes His purposes (Ephesians 1:10). Satan and humans have effectual choice that inflicts harm, yet God works everything together for the good of his children (Romans 8:28). Six chapters in If God is Good spell out in detail my positions:

What do you want your readers to take away from If God Is Good?
In If God Is Good, I appeal to unbelievers and believers alike to consider these questions: Why is there so much good in the world? Why do the great majority of suffering people want to go on living nonetheless? Is evil and suffering just bad luck, or is there a rational explanation for it? Is there a redemptive purpose for it? Can we as hurting people, and as those trying to help hurting people, find perspectives that recognize the full force of evil and suffering, yet offer hope? I suggest the answer is yes.
