Some kinds of pain seem to run too deep for words. What can
you say that could possibly be of any help to someone who is having one of
those “Gethsemane” experiences? Carlfred Broderick has some answers that may
surprise you. Acknowledging that pain comes into all our lives, he uses a
variety of personal stories to demonstrate that what we do with that pain is
part of what shapes us as human beings.
In the end, what really matters is not what happens to us
but what our experiences teach us about God. This remarkable little books shows
us that He is indeed our Father, and His love will ultimately reach deeper than
any trial we might encounter in mortality.
This is a really short book with stories about people who
have gone through some of the hardest trials out there; losing children, abuse,
etc. It is a great little snippet of why God allows these things to happen to
His children and how we can come to understand how we can rise above and work
with the adversities we are given in this life. I enjoyed it and honestly,
there are a few gems of wisdom that it is worth reading this little 60 page
book for.
