Path Through Suffering, A

SUFFERING IS NOT FOR NOTHING

Must we stumble through sorrow and tragedy without understanding or is there a lighted way---a path---through suffering? In A Path Through Suffering, Elliot plots the treacherous passage through pain, grief, and loss, a journey most of us will make many times in our life. Not hesitating to ask hard questions, she tenderly examines the hurts we suffer and boldly explores the nature of a God whose sovereign, intimate and perfect care for us confounds our finite understanding. Through it all, she says there is only one reliable path, and, if you walk it, you will see the transformation of all your losses, heartbreaks, and tragedies into something strong and purposeful.

In this powerfully moving book, Elisabeth Elliot does not hesitate to ask hard questions, to examine tenderly the hurts we suffer, and to explore boldy the nature of a God whose sovereign care for us is so intimate and perfect that He confounds our finite understanding.

A Pathe through Suffering is a book for anyone searching for faith, comfort, and assurance. It is an honest book about the way our merciful God draws us close to Himself and expands our capacity for surrender and obedience in order that we might finally and fully share in His resurrection glory.

"No one has more of value to say about suffering than Elisabeth Elliot."

-Bookstore Journal

"Elisabeth Elliot avoids dry, dusty theological defenses of God in our suffering. Instead, she provids a clear path to a sincere and trusting heart which feels real heartbreak and tragedy yet praises God in all things."

-RC Sproul, Ligonier Ministries

"Suffering can sometimes entangle and impede a Christian's progress toward hope and confidence in God's design. But that's not the way God intended it. Elisabeth, with keen insight and authority, clears a path through the doubts and questions to help every reader find his confidence in God's design. I recommend it highly."
