This book is (especially considering its brevity) one of the finest treatments of suffering available. It is sensitive, Biblical,and perfectly suited to pass on to anyone that is going through a difficult time. I highly recommend it.

I love this book! I have given copies to many people I know when they are going through something difficult in their lives and I don't have the right words of comfort for them. This book helps to make sense of why we go through some of the things we do in life. I first read it 20 years ago and it helped me through a very difficult time in my life. Everyone should read this book!

Excellent book for anyone going through a loss or time of grief - from Christian perspective. Beautiful pictures and layout.

I read this book 25 years ago, yet the truth rings the same today. I was very depressed at the time and didn't understand what was going on in my Christian life. How could I as a Christian be suffering with depression? Then I read this book, which used II Corithians 1:3-10 as it's basis, and found that the Apostle Paul stated he dispaired even of life. It states, how God is the God of all comfort. So if Paul the Apostle was dispairing of life and looked to the God of all comfort for help, then so should I. Dr. Swindoll goes into much greater detail, and does a very good job of driving the truth home. It helped me tremendously, know that God doesn't look down on us in our struggles, but has compassion. I highly recommend this book. I reference it in my suicide prevention website, (www.bungechord.com/suicide),and a link to purchase it, at Amazon.com of course. If you are stuggling with depression and/or in pain, this is a book for you.

This is a compassionate presentation of the reality of pain and the coping that comes through trust in God. Helps to build spiritual resources. I have some on hand to have at-the-ready for those I care for in need.

This booklet is a wonderful way to help people struggling with loss of a loved one. I send it with any sympathy card. Chuck Swindoll is a favorite author of mine and how he says these comforting words is very special, as are all of his words of counsel and inspiration.

I have kept these on hand for years now and just gave away my last copy so I had to order more. They make awesome gifts for those in need. You won't be disappointed!

This is an excellent gift book, to give to people who are suffering the loss of loved ones, personal health, and other griefs of life. It is easily read, but the theology is sound and helpful.
