This book, although only 215 pages, gives a glimpse into the lives of "Christian greats" like Charles Spurgeon, Amy Carmichael, C.S. Lewis, F.B. Meyer, Hudson Taylor, Geraldine Taylor, Isobel Kuhn and Ruth Bell Graham, who became spiritual giants **in the midst of their pain**. It seems to be true that misery loves company... reading about other's woes seem to make you reevaluate your own pain and realize that things just aren't so bad after all. Actually, the author does a fine job of confronting the idea in modern Christianity that true Christians are never depressed, grieving or stressed.

I'm not a christian but found the book to be interesting and

helpful.Everyone in this life deals with pain,uncertainty,

rejection,all those things which happen to all of us from time

to time.I was given this book as a gift by a friend who knew

I was going through a tough time with rejection from some

family members.Made me realize no one has perfect days ALL the

time and we are all just human.
