Imagine standing before Jesus in your deepest season of suffering—when life is excruciating, and the pain seems inescapable. Gently reaching to hold your face, He looks into your eyes and says, “I know how much you’re hurting right now. I need you to know I will not allow your distress to be in vain, but will bring something beautiful from this terrible difficulty. As hard as it may be to believe at this moment, I want you to have peace, knowing I’m trusting you to go through this trial and will do wonderful things because of it. Now I ask, are you willing to trust Me?”

How would His words change the way you processed your pain? When you recovered from the shock of the encounter, could you accept a much greater peace than you had before? We all could. This book provides a blueprint for receiving this kind of peace—and you’ll never have to experience pain the same way again.

Jesus promised His disciples a peace unlike the world’s version. While the world’s peace-prescription is unsustainable—an absence of pain or problems—Jesus’ formula is very different; His will show us how to graduate from resentment, doubt, or bitterness in suffering to faith-filled praise and gratitude that God would trust us with something so intimately difficult. Especially because of what He has prepared on the other side of it!

If this sounds helpful, this book is for you. If someone you know is hurting, it might be the lifeline they have been praying for. You won’t regret taking the journey through these pages.
