The Uses of Adversity

Some of life's trials seem too deep for our words of comfort to have any meaning. But even in the face of such soul-wrenching griefs, there is hope. ''The gospel of Jesus Christ is not insurance against pain,'' writes Dr. Carlfred Broderick, former president of the Association of Mormon Counselors and Psychotherapists. ''It is a resource in event of pain.'' His unforgettable, real-life examples illustrate the matchless power of the gospel to help us rise above even abuse or injustice. A perfect gift for anyone who is going through hard times.
