Books on Suffering 2: Trusting God When Life Hurts, by Jerry Bridges

I am so pleased I took time years ago to read 'Trusting God even when life hurts' by Jerry Bridges see http://www.amazon.com/Trusting-God-Even-When-Hurts/dp/1600063055/ref=dp_ob_title_bk  It was foundational to understanding hardships along the way. And I highly recommend it to all, even if you are not a christian. Life is so short, I have lost two best friends in the past, none of us knows when our time here is over....so live life 'in all it's abundance'. See the beautiful picture of Jesus our shepherd giving us such a life in John 10:1-10 http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=John+10
If you are after understanding the deeper meaning to life, then this is a must read!  

Books on Suffering 1: Be Still My Soul Edited By Nancy Guthrie


I know I have said other books on suffering are the best! But this one is even better! The editor has put together various chapters from various authors, modern to Puritan and more - well-known names like John Calvin, Charles Spurgeon, Corrie ten Boom, Joni Eareckson Tada, If you want a good long look at the sovereignty of God and a book to change your perspective on life, suffering or not, then you must read this one! Go on...order it now! We forget too easily that life goes on forever…oh to have a less earth bound view of life.
 

Quadrilles and Konfyt The Life and Journal of Hildagonda Duckitt (South Africa) is a fascinating late 1700, early 1800 recollection of Cape escapades. For anyone who has lived there or loves the Cape, this is a must read, as you are entranced by the places you know so well which come to life with history.
