Making Sense of Suffering

Joni Tada,

About this book

Suffering is miserable. When you're overwhelmed by pain and problems, it's easy to feel helpless, hopeless and sinking into a whirlpool of self-pity. Making Sense of Suffering is a Scripture-based pamphlet that will bring hope and comfort to those who are going through personal difficulties and will be a great help to groups dealing with grief, disabilities, emotional and physical trauma, divorce, and more.

Joni Eareckson Tada knows about the emotions that come with suffering firsthand. A diving accident in 1967 left her confined to a wheelchair as a quadriplegic at the age of 17. Joni knows what it's like to suffer chronic pain. Yet she has found comfort and meaning in the God of the Bible.

Joni says, "Somewhere after the first five years of life in my wheelchair, I noticed a change in my hardships. I was beginning to see how my quadriplegia was working for my good and God's glory—simply put, it meant becoming more like Christ." With this pamphlet you will:

Understand the answers to common questions about suffering
Get insights into struggles that suffering may bring on your faith and how to deal with them
How Jesus learned to cope with suffering
Understand God's role in our greater stories and his purpose for pain
And much more

We're all familiar with the popular passage in Colossians "I rejoice in what was suffered for you," but what does it really mean? How can suffering cause any rejoicing. Dig deep into questions like these with this easy-to-read pamphlet.
