The Pain That Heals: The Place Of Suffering In The Growth Of The Person

"The Pain That Heals is a personal response to the amount of suffering that I have witnessed amongst the many to whom I have ministered and, even more starkly, in my own life. It has become obvious that the problem of evil in the face of a loving God is not to be solved at a purely intellectual level, it is by traversing the valley where death casts its long shadow that the sufferer learns the basic truths about his or her condition.This book will give cold comfort to those who want instant relief but, to those who are prepared to proceed with their difficulties with courage, it will show the way of advance that has been tried and proved by at least one traveller."--Martin Israel.
