Beschreibung
It was Easter weekend. Twenty-two-year-old Noah went into full cardiac arrest just minutes after a hospital discharge. His parents administered CPR for eight long minutes before he was declared dead on arrival by the paramedics. His family gathered around his bedside to say their goodbyes when he unexpectedly woke up to greet them with a smile. With more than two decades of navigating numerous medical emergencies and hospitalizations, Noah was in kidney failure again, in need of a third transplant. After caregiving for her extremely medically fragile son for twenty-two years, author L.M. Stokes tells how she learned to embrace the harmony of suffering and the Christian faith. Does suffering have a part to play in an active vibrant faith in Christ? Where is God when we suffer? Is there meaning and purpose in suffering? How can we learn to suffer well? Is the gospel of Jesus Christ sufficient to satisfy and confront the questions of suffering humanity? In Dear Sufferer, L.M. Stokes shares her lessons in the school of suffering in a series of masterfully woven letters to “Dear Sufferers” everywhere.
