Book Review: Suffering is Never for Nothing by Elisabeth Elliot

 


Suffering is Never For Nothing by Elisabeth Elliot - 5 Stars

"The deepest things that I have learned in my own life have come from the deepest suffering. And out of the deepest waters and the hottest fires have come the deepest things that I know about God."

This is a book I needed at such a time in my life when my husband and I are struggling with navigating through the world of special needs parenting for our 5 year old son, among several other things. This is a profound and deeply moving exploration at the nature of suffering, viewed in a lens from the Christian faith. This book is a compilation of Elliot's talks and is filled with her life experiences through suffering and how God was still good through it all.

This is personal, authentic, theologically deep and filled with hope and encouragement. I fully believe this is a timeless and invaluable resource for anyone grappling with the realities of suffering. Elliot's insights, coupled with her personal experiences, make this book a powerful reminder that through faith in Jesus, suffering can be transformed into a meaningful and redemptive experience. 

We see the reality of suffering, the purpose, the response and the redemption. I needed this book and believe so many of you will be ministered by it as well. Highly recommend.

"God never wastes pain. He always uses it to accomplish His purpose. And His purpose is for His glory and our good."
