To be human is to suffer. Christians deal with trials and afflictions in an assortment of ways:
glossing over pain, denying thereÕs a problem and pretending not to hurt, stuffing pain inside, or living as a victim. Yet God doesn't call us to "make the best of things and keep a stiff upper lip." He tells us to welcome and embrace the trials we encounter, because He will meet us lovingly in the midst of our pain. The authors, trusted family counselors, explain how suffering becomes the path to growth in the Believer's life.
