The Place of Suffering
comfort and courage for the faith journey
Suffering.
We do all we can to avoid it. And when it does come, our body rebels, our mind refuses, and our schedule resists.
For we never know exactly the form it will take. It has 1,000 different faces, 10,000 different voices.
Peek into the lives of others who have wrestled in their place of suffering. Who have broadened their perspective and looked to the One who can turn ashes into beauty.
Be encouraged as light replaces darkness, as hope seeps into your spirit and comfort settles into your soul. Allow acceptance to enter, bringing courage for your faith journey.
This book is perfect as a gift or expanded greeting card for those suffering and in need of encouragement. Net proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the support of orphans through GlobalFingerprints.
