"This is a stunning book, so rare and so beautiful. I cannot recommend it highly enough."Matthew A. LaPineSuffering has been made holy by Christs proximity to it. This is the story of Christs nearness to my own sufferingmy mental breakdown, my journey to the psych ward, my long, slow, painful recoveryand how Christ will use even our agony and despair to turn us into servants and guests of the mercy offered in his gospel.We cannot answer suffering.

Suffering has been made holy by Christs proximity to it.

Exploring the Impact of Christianity throughout History In our increasingly secular world, many claim that Christianity is oppressive and toxic. Christians are accused of standing on the wrong side of history, failing to accept human dignity, freedom, and progress. Are these accusations valid? Is Christianity actually causing more harm than good in the world? In this concise booklet, author Sharon James shows that through history and across the globe, true followers of Christ have challenged injustice and abuse, and provided care for the needy. This has had a beneficial and widespread impact on all areas of human life. Without the moral ideals given to us by God, humans would lack the ability and desire to pursue justice, freedom, and compassion altogether. When Christians follow the biblical worldview with integrity and align their actions with their self-giving God, that results in sacrificial service to others.
