And yet suffering demands an answer. If Jesus is the answer to suffering, what kind of answer is Jesus? Everything that could be taken from a person was taken from him. The worst things a person could be made to see and feel were seen and felt by Christ. All of this came to a point in the nails driven into his hands and became a word that cannot be unspoken--his body broken and his blood poured out for us. Suffering has been made holy by Christ's proximity to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Andrew Bryant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1683597044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683597049\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexham Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/24\/2023","brand":"John Andrew Bryant","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44149629288703,"sku":"9781683597049","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7bc60b92-d1d2-4202-a9db-e91d8c93f424.jpg?v=1688457713","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-quiet-mind-to-suffer-john-andrew-bryant-9781683597049","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
