Stunning book on suffering. Good for my soul. Not going to review it beyond that.

I didn't enjoy this book and I really can't understand the hype. Recommended to me to help my grieving process, I started the book open-minded and hopeful, however, I didn't like the tone of the content and didn't find it helpful or comforting in the slightest. I also disagree with this theological perspective- I believe that God is love and the God depicted in this book doesn't aligned with this belief. I'm glad it helps and comforts many, but I can't see the value in it. I much prefer reading Julian of Norwich.

I really didn't find this book helpful at all although I respect the author's own strong faith and intelligence.

DNF stopped at second section. Disappointed because I had high expectations since her book “Heaven” was so good. Boring, no new information, dated material but poems were good

I highly recommend this book to anyone suffering, or wondering why God allows us pain. It is not a theological treatise or an intellectual breakdown, it is written from experience (a Christian paraplegic) and the Bible. And even though it is a bit dated in spots and I disagreed sometimes with the way things were phrased, it contains truth that we all need to hear.
