We all wonder how we will cope in times of terrible suffering, and how we can best support others who are suffering. And we all ask the question: how does suffering square with God’s character and purpose?
As a young pastor, Matt Chandler knew he needed to learn how to help hurting people. He studied the Scriptures, and he learned from people at the Village Church who remained joyful in their suffering. And then suddenly he was having to live what he'd learned.
This is the moving story of Matt's battle with a potentially fatal brain tumor. But it's also the stories of those who taught him, and teach him, ...how to walk with joy in sorrow.
This book will make you cry, laugh, and worship God. And you will see how you can live with joy when times of sorrow come, and how you can support others going through tough times.
(Review written for 'Joy in the Sorrow (ebook)')
In June 2022 my wife (Elizabeth) of 57+ years passed into eternal glory. The book, Joy In The Sorrow, was a great help to me as I dealt with my grief. The stories of how others suffered and still found joy on the other side of their pain awakened me to having joyful hope for all the tomorrows.
I really appreciated the style of this book sharing a number of stories of joy in suffering with interludes between them tracing the story of Matt Chandler's battle with a brain tumour. Some brave testimony grappling with the Word and coming out with such challenging and inspiring joy
I experienced tears, brokenness and joy when reading this book. The honest and courageous faith of the contributors and pastor Matt himself is incredible. I was moved by these stories of suffering and faith. Every Christian should read this book.
