The book could have benefited from some better editing. Seems a bit longer than needed. I appreciate that each chapter took an example of a sufferer from Scripture, and that there were very few contemporary anecdotes.
The last chapter was worth the whole book. I appreciated his insight that God uses suffering to mature us, and the best we may be able to offer is not to “fix” the problem but to offer our presence in the pain. The character sketch of Epaphroditus as one who risked his own well-being to look after Paul’s well-being was inspiring.
I think the teaching of this book ought to be held in one hand, and skill as a Biblical Counselor in the other. With someone who is grieving, we ought to listen and be present, without being too hasty to offer a fix. But we ought not leave the one grieving there indefinitely. God’s word has truth that may need to be spoken and applied to the situation in the appropriate time.
