Part of the Foreword written by famous author and broadcaster Jeff Lucas.

This book comes as a welcome painkiller for all who suffer. Eric Gaudion has two earned doctorates – one in theology, and the other in faithfulness. He speaks to us, not from the isolated cloisters of theory, but from the school of hard knocks, where he has spent far too long. His daily battle with excruciating pain could have driven him into madness; instead, he speaks from that pain with a sanity that is a balm of authentic comfort. His warm words are better than any professional bedside manner. God is not the author of evil and pain, but he is the redeemer of it; he brings beauty out of ugliness, and gold out of the furnace of agony. This book is a wonderful example of that redeeming work. May it soothe your brow, cheer your heart, and kiss you once more with genuine hope.
