God's Grace in Your Suffering

This book ministered deeply to my heart. You don't have to be walking through suffering to glean and learn from it, but it will ground you in truth and hope for when the day of suffering comes, the truths from this book will ring true and will revive and refresh your soul. Every reader should have this gem in their bookshelf.

I will be reading this book over and over...I am certain there are truths to be uncovered every time.While the hymn, "How Great a Foundation" isn't new to me, this book certainly provided an opportunity to actually LISTEN to the powerful message in it.It's great for an individual going through loss or suffering, but would be an excellent resource for pastors and counselors.

This is a wonderful, compact book that will be of great help to anyone who is experiencing physical or emotional suffering--or who is facing challenges in their life (I guess this includes most humans). It is not about the theology of suffering but rather a very personal book that puts the reader at its center--Powlison even says his book is a workshop for the reader to help him or her deal with suffering or loss. His empathy is deep and heartfelt, his knowledge of scripture outstanding, and the questions he asks the reader are penetrating. A very, very helpful book that stands out in a sea of cliched advice about suffering. Highly recommended.

I'm familiar with Powlison from his previous books. My husband and I got this one to work through together, and it has been helpful to both of us. We've been reminded of truth (Powlison has always done this well - pointing you to scripture as well as hymns and other writers), and it has helped us put our individual grief into words as we're grieving together.

This is a word of healing, a word of encouragement, and a word of hope to those of us who are suffering in this fallen world (and that is all of us). I can not recommend this book higher and I would run out of superlatives trying to express my admiration for this book. I encourage you to read it. It will minister to your heart and mind.

Excellent book. Just finished reading it.

If you're trying to make sense of all the suffering going on in your life (or in the world right now) this book has the answers. Grounded in sound biblical doctrine the author meets you at your point of need and gives practical and real help. _Rhonda Stoppe No Regrets Woman

The author is a Christian counselor and is no stranger to suffering: his own, his family's., and his clients.Loved every bit of it.

Arrived on time and in perfect condition, thank you

David Powlison describes very cautiously yet precisely the feelings that overwhelm us when we face hardship, and he gives the right biblical answer to it, by reminding us who God is, what He does for us, and what He is asking us (or not asking us!) to be or to do in those moments. The practical testimonies from his own periods of suffering are very humbling and encouraging. A must-read, easy and accessible to all.

Suffering sucks. It’s hard, painful, lonely and isolating. Yet this helpful book shows us how our suffering can be resurrected and may turn into a benefit for ourselves and others. On the whole it is a sobering and good guide through this bleak terrain. May it be of help to you as well.

Helps us put our hardships and trials into perspective and to see how the Lord helps. Helps us to apply Scripture to our difficulties and circumstances.
