Goodness of Affliction: Encouragement for Those Who Suffer

Can anything good come out of suffering? Is there anything purposeful in the grief or pain you may be feeling right now?

There are no easy answers to these questions and any attempt at an answer runs the risk of seeming trite or inappropriate to our unique situation.

The author of this book has a terminal illness, which has produced in him not only an uncertainty about the future, but a deep sense of compassion for those who are also suffering.

The book is his attempt to bring encouragement to those who feel helpless and alone by giving a perspective on affliction that is not ordinarily discussed.

The book is not a daily devotional, but a compilation of the blogs he has written over the last three years that have been helpful to many.

You may not be walking the path of affliction, but you could give the book a read and pass it on to someone who is on the journey.
