Desperate for Hope: Hanging on and Finding God During Life's Hardest Times

By Bruce W. Martin

Book Overview

There is hope after life falls apart. A single phone call can change your life. There's been an accident. You have cancer. The company's downsizing. Your spouse wants out. All of a sudden everything spins out of control. At some point, we've all felt painful loss, bitter disappointment, embarrassing failure, unthinkable betrayal, and the seeming randomness of suffering. Some of us have faced death. Sometimes it all happens at once. And we have quietly wondered (or maybe even screamed), "Why is this happening to me? Where is God in all of this?" The answer may surprise you. With sincere sympathy and ready encouragement, Bruce W. Martin takes you through a grieving process that will help you reconcile your deep suffering with your beliefs about God. A unique and compassionate take on the age-old question of suffering, this book is for anyone who has experienced life-shattering pain. Book jacket.
