Reviews"This sensitive and profound book may become the book that can help you most in your own sufferings or that you can give to others when your own words fail." --Ronda Chervin, Ph.D. , Author, The Kiss from the Cross "Just the kind of wise guidance we have come to expect from Father Groeschel. It is clear, simple, compassionate, personal, practical, Christ-centered and full of Gospel quotes that come alive in Groeschel's hands." --Peter Kreeft, Author, Making Sense Out of Suffering

SynopsisWell-known author, psychologist and priest Fr. Benedict Groeschel draws on his own years of personal experiences in dealing with people's problems, tragedies and "darkness" as he offers help and guidance for any Christian troubled or burdened by life. If you are struggling with fear, anxiety, grief, loss of loved ones, hurt, anger or anything that makes life difficult or the road through it dark, then this book was written for you. Fr. Benedict offers practical suggestions on how to keep going and even grow with the help of God's grace, even when this help seems remote. The Christian response to the problem of evil and suffering began with the cross of Christ. Our answer is inseparable from the cross-from Jesus' own encounter with evil and his triumph over it. In this light, Fr. Benedict recalls some of our most frequently encountered sorrows and griefs: the failure of friends, financial and personal insecurity, the failure of some in the Church, our own inconsistent behaviors and weaknesses, and the death of loved ones. As we examine these painful experiences, he shows that we can find solutions in the Gospel and in the lives of saints, heroes, and very brave ordinary people. "Many guides have been written for people struggling with the mystery of evil. But each generation, each age has its own dark background in front of which the struggle to keep going must be worked out. In every age, men ask 'how am I going to go on to arise from darkness?' It is that which my book will address." ùFr. Benedict Groeschel, CFR, Well-known author, psychologist and priest Fr.

When hurt hits, the darkness of what seems so senseless wants to consume us. We must arise with Jesus to a better understanding to find peace.
My son passed away & a friend of mine had a stillborn & this book sheds great light on the value of our suffering & cross and thus gives us peace amidst the sorrows & wounds! The Lord did not take away suffering but has glorified it & given it redemptive value. And death is not the end! God never abandons us just as He never abandoned His Son.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
