Amazing book!

I ordered this book to have some spiritual reading for Lent thinking I could read a story a week. Well, I finished reading it in four days. I cried and I was humbled by the people's sufferings in this book. Very well written and I am going to pass it around. If there is something missing in your life, read this and you will feel so grateful for what you have or if you are suffering a lot, you can identify with these people. My hour of Adoration has so much more meaning now.

Incredibly helpful, when you are inconsolable and can't

imagine EVER feeling ok again -

reading Other People's stories of equally badBadBAD pain and the most difficult circumstances... and how these truly FaithFull people went through it with faith ---

these people are NOT "drinking the koolaid" - they're just good people living through their ordeals with a dependence on God and leaning on the same God they realize has given them every good thing in their lives...

sometimes, some things are not about going to therapy, medications...

it's just about the hard-to-take realities of life - tragedies an d hardships that you realize have struck everyone through the ages... but that doesn't seem to help a whit - except in reading the blow-by-blow, play-by-play descriptions in this book ---

i can't say enough about this book - except that It Helped me to grow up, to accept suffering as part of life alongside all the joy and good things, to realize it's just part of being human in the Family of Man and always has been... and so it had to be all right...somehow...

years ago it occurred to me that in life "although things may be going badly, they are never going wrong"...

this book helped me find the peace about that truism... and i have never felt alone in sorrow or suffering since reading it.

thank you, jeff cavins and everyone, for this insight into what it means to be human ~

Amazing Inspiration

Every story touched my heart. These are the people who walk among us, the living saints. Although they would never admit such that is what makes them so special. My heart overflowed with love for each of these special people and I am glad that they shared their stories.

Proves God can bring good out of suffering

In the introduction to "Amazing Grace for Those Who Suffer," Jeff Cavins and Matthew Pinto write "Our lives, no matter how good, are often interrupted and complicated by difficulties. For some of us, the suffering is minor; for others, intense suffering accompanies every heartbeat of every day. . . One thing is for sure: Any type of suffering can take a person to the breaking point." The ten people who share their pain in "Amazing Grace" have faced seemingly insurmountable suffering. Janet Moylan watched her husband and daughter be swept out into the ocean, while she could do nothing to save them. Peggy Stoks suffered molestation at the hands of her grandfather. Mike Clarey's eleven year old daughter was murdered while out delivering papers. Dr. Kim Hardey's son Brad was killed by a speeding car. Debbie Harding faced breast cancer and life married to a drug addict. What all these people share, however, is the knowledge that God brought some good out of their suffering (a fact that can only be seen looking back).

Of course, none of us want to suffer, but suffering is part of life on this earth. These ten stories offer lessons in how to suffer, how to understand suffering, and how to continue to trust in God even when we are suffering.

reviews: page 1, 2

Amazing Grace for Those Who Suffer, is the first title in the new Amazing Grace series, which is called "Catholic 'Chicken Soup for the Soul'" series by Matthew Pinto and Jeff Cavins. These 10 real-life stories are more than powerful. They carry the reader through a dark journey of pain into the light of God's grace. Amazing Grace shows us step by step, how to find God's peace and profound hope and healing for the heart and soul. The stories show us the value of suffering....in some stories their deep faith carried them through their pain; in others, they found Christ in the midst of their suffering.

More than Chicken Soup, you won't put down this riveting saga that will make you laugh and cry. And as you read, you?ll discover the beautiful treasures of faith, like how we can unite our sufferings with Christ and how the God is truly the source of our strength.
