Amazing Grace for Those Who Suffer: 10 Life-Changing Stories of Hope and Healing (Amazing Grace Series) (The Amazing Grace Series)

The 10 stories, written in an autobiographical style, provide good insights as to how suffering can bring about greater faith, how faith can help us manage our suffering and ultimately how suffering can bring about salvation through Christ, and uniting it with His. A book worth reading and hanging on to reread for a refreshing reminder. The editors did an excellent job selecting the stories, and creating a unified text from the journeys of diverse sufferers.

Grace is given by God to those who ask, and this is a super support read for those who need so guidance as well. Written by a Cathollic convert who really came to know how much God loves us and supports us thru His sacraments.

The psalmist says we live 80 years if we are strong, "most of these are emptiness and pain." These stories certainly support this statement. Yet, God has left room for us to unite our suffering to Christ's suffering for the redemption of others. How beautiful, how comforting, how meaningful. The afterward is well written and worth reading more than once.

I found this book, with these 10 stories of tragedy of all kinds, very uplifting, reassuring and hopefilled. It helped me to realize that there will be hard times in all of our lives, that is part of life, but how we handle those tough times, how we get through them, is what makes the difference. We can either choose to walk closer to God or walk away from Him. All these people chose to put their faith in God and found themselves so much better on the other side.

As I suffer from a Chronic illness, I was looking for a way to make sense of it and to live with it. I found this book to be inspirational and give me some sense of purpose in my everyday pain. I will never be healed physically but it helped heal me mentally and spiritually. I would recommmend this to those who have a chronic illness and want to give some purpose to it.

I read this book and later on I gave a friend this book as a gift. It has stories of people who have suffered. It helped a lot while I was feeling sad for a while. It helped me to understand the different aspects of suffering and pain. My friend's son committed suicide and I thought of this book so I ordered it so she could read it and hopefully after reading this book, her hope would be restored. Great book.

I ordered this book to have some spiritual reading for Lent thinking I could read a story a week. Well, I finished reading it in four days. I cried and I was humbled by the people's sufferings in this book. Very well written and I am going to pass it around. If there is something missing in your life, read this and you will feel so grateful for what you have or if you are suffering a lot, you can identify with these people. My hour of Adoration has so much more meaning now.

FOR THOSE WHO HURT. I gave this book to a friend who is incarcerated. She knows she did wrong and is serving her time. But she still needs to be comforted and reminded that while she is there-she has not been forgotten by me-nor by God. Suffering is a part of life and some get through it better than others. But there are periods where we feel like we are alone in the battle. Hopefully for the reader-this book will change that feeling-or improve it to a degree where they can persevere through it..

A much needed and superb book for someone like myself, who has encountered much suffering in the past 3 years!

I've only read one story but it encourages all of us who suffer to keep going with Jesus at our side.

Excellent book!
