John Perkins, who has suffered greatly during his 92 years, is well qualified to write a book on finding joy in suffering. Even though suffering is painful, it can also be a great teaching tool to draw a person closer to the Lord. Joy can be found in the midst of the pain.
Using Scripture to guide him, the author shares his personal
story and the lessons he learned. The book is organized in three parts: When
Suffering Chooses You, When You Choose Suffering, and Joy Comes in the Morning.
In the back of the book there are questions for each of the nine chapters which
would aid in personal or group study to delve deeper into the topics covered in
the book. I highly recommend this important book written by a civil rights
leader and a committed Christian community development leader.
I received this book from Moody Publishers in exchange for
this honest review.
