Required Reading for believers,
By Thomas Wright (Tulsa, OK, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Affliction (Paperback)
I would like to encourage all Christians and non-Christians alike who have an opportunity to read this book to do so, and then use the lessons/encouragements/exhortations of Edith Schaeffer to be salt and light in the world we live in. If I could recommend only 1 book to someone to read to prepare them for the life we face on this earth(other than the Bible, of course)and to help equip others to deal with the problems/adversities we will face,and a sound, bible-based christianity, this would be the book. I found it readable 1 chapter at a time, it is not necessary to sit down and read the entire book at once, at so many places I found myself thinking of someone who needed to hear this, read this, understand this, gain a measure of understanding to get through what they were facing, or wanted to help someone else get through their trial with a christian way of seeing that I had to stop my reading and find/call that person at once. As you can tell, I am a big Edith Schaeffer fan, you can never go wrong in recommending one of her books to someone, if someone is not a christian, they will be exposed to real, authentic answers that the Bible and a relationship with Jesus Christ provide to those who do believe, and that is rare today, I feel. Again, please get a copy of this, read it, then pass it on, there is a hurting world that needs to be prepared to face "Affliction", and this book and author are the best I've found in my christian travels.

A First Class Book For Helping A Person Overcome Crisis,
By joel blaylock "Joel Blaylock" (allen, tx USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Affliction (Paperback)
In this excellent book Edith Schaeffer shares many personal experiences which help a person to understand the meaning and purpose of suffering. The point she makes is that there is meaning and purpose in all suffering. She states there is a Personal God who understands and uses these experiences, not only to help us, but also in an eternal way to help everyone. It is good reading that is meaningful and full of comfort for anyone who is suffering.

Understanding Suffering,
By
This review is from: Affliction: A Compassionate Christian Look at Understanding the Reality of Pain and Suffering in Our Lives (Hardcover)
This book is excellent and one that I heartily recommend. In fact I have 3 on my bookshelf at the moment so I can share the truths in this book with others. It's given me understanding of how God uses suffering in our lives. I know of one person who wrote a newsletter before her death of how this book brought purpose to her life in the midst of her dying from cancer. If you are struggling for answers about suffering, this book will help bring about understanding.
