Customer Reviews

Good theology, but a bit disappointing

I have to admit I was looking for something to help a loved one in pain and to help myself deal with things as a caregiver. There's some good stuff here, but the emphasis is overly much on interpreting scripture rather than applying scripture to real life to give hope and meaning to sufferers. It's very good for the interpretation part and is worth the price for that alone.

Really Excellent

As we grow up with the notion of a loving God only one thing goes on tormenting us why does God allow us to suffer. This book really answers a lot of things which trouble us, the notion of what true love really means with freedom and also makes us think why dont we do something to remove suffering
