Living Beneath The Tapestry and Within The Veil: God's Sanctifying Work in the Lives of His Suffering Saints

By Karla Podlucky

Five years after her daughter was killed in an automobile accident, the author finds herself swept up in another major trial with prison sentences for her husband, herself, and her oldest son. A scandalous ordeal involving allegations of fraud hover over her husband's business of nineteen years. After her family is put publicly on display in an inordinate number of newspaper articles over the next four years, her husband is forced to take a plea deal, then she and her oldest son are indicted, convicted, and sentenced to prison as well. What do death and a prison sentence have in common? They both involve suffering, separation, and loss.Through the death of her daughter and her repugnant "prison trial", the author focused on learning how to suffer in a way that most glorifies and honors Christ. While maintaining her innocence even today, she had a head-on collision with her own human depravity in prison and began to see how the lessons the Lord had been weaving throughout her walk were coming together for her to more fully understand Calvary's love. In prison, the Gospel became daily sustenance for her life.In Living Beneath the Tapestry and Within the Veil: God's Sanctifying Work in the Lives of His Suffering Saints, the author shows how she came to answer the question that was so offensive to her flesh: Who me, go to prison? with Why NOT me? The great hope for the Christian is that all suffering can be a vehicle that moves us ever closer to glory. In fact, the grandest stage upon which the Lord gives the Christian opportunity to shine most brightly is the most uncomfortable one because it is a stage set against the backdrop of humility. Humility, the greatest of all virtues, is produced in us when we suffer in a way that honors and glorifies God. Suffering, separation, and loss can lead to joy, fellowship, and great gain. In a word, glory!
