Book Description:
We often hold out for God to alleviate our circumstantial suffering
or pain. But what about Those Who Suffer and fall between the cracks of
conventional Christian teaching? Those that don’t have the luxury
of having their horrific circumstances removed or reversed? The Lord
will not bring a woman’s husband of fifty years back from the
dead or reattach someone’s amputated limbs. Does this mean that
these people have no hope? There is a solution that doesn’t
depend on the transformation or relief of our circumstances.
Author Sean Nolan says:
“You'll find the Lord's hope is not found primarily in physical actions of change but in the actions of Christ on the cross, and that seemingly hopeless circumstances can give birth to the most powerful victory and wonderful blessing!” Those Who Suffer tells that the Lord is not 'short changing' you by allowing pain and suffering in your life, and that the most wonderful thing that He brings to pass is the process of being conformed into the image of His Son-not the protection of His children for their personal pleasure. If Christ had his circumstantial pain immediately alleviated, the greatest gift and most wonderful thing that the world has ever seen would not have come to pass. – Publisher.
