Companions in Suffering

Description

Have you experienced an ongoing trial that left you wrung out emotionally? Do you feel alone in your pain?Though suffering often leaves us feeling isolated, God invites us into the community of the Trinity and offers us many companions in Scripture. We experience loneliness alongside the exiled Israelites. We journey with David as he pleads to God for rescue. With Asaph we confess our unbelief. With Job we learn to lament. With Mary and Martha we learn to wait.In God's community, there is sweet fellowship, even in the hardest of circumstances. Journey in these pages with Wendy Alsup through her story of suffering, and more importantly, with the God who walks with us in the wilderness.This warm and contemplative book also includes a helpful appendix for those who companion a suffering loved one.
