None of us has to look very far to find people we love who are hurting deeply, and I am no exception.
I lovingly dedicate this book to my friends and family who live with the sorrow of infidelity, infertility, a spouse’s rejection, a child’s rebellion, paralysis, bipolar disorder, suicide,depression, dementia, a learning disability, death, fear over finances, loss of reputation, a difficult marriage, an unwanted singleness, an embarrassing failure, an ongoing conflict, a pervasive loneliness.
Know that I am sharing your sorrow, and I’m listening with you to hear Jesus speak.

About Hearing Jesus Speak into Your SorrowIn this paradigm-shifting book, Nancy Guthrie gently invites readers to lean in along with her to hear Jesus speak understanding and insight into the lingering questions we all have about the hurts of life: What was God’s involvement in this, and why did he let it happen? Why hasn’t God answered my prayers for a miracle? Can I expect God to protect me? Does God even care? According to Nancy, this questioning is not a bad thing at all but instead an opportunity. It’s a chance to hear with fresh ears the truth in the promises of the gospel we may have misapplied. It lets us retune our souls to the purposes of God we may have misunderstood. |
