Pablo Martinez knows all too well first-hand. For more than twenty-five years he has suffered with a rare eye disease. Others have experienced traumatic loss, too terrible for words. Pablo meets these people all the time through his work.\u003cbr\u003ePablo identifies five traits of a thorn. It is; painful; limiting; humiliating; prolonged; something to fight against.\u003cbr\u003eIn the New Testament, Paul shared his experience of a thorn (2 Corinthians 12:7 - 10). God chose not to remove it in spite of his pleading.\u003cbr\u003eIn the context of our salvation, Jesus suffered more than any person has ever suffered. God's identification with human tragedy is perfectly expressed in the name Emmanuel: God with us.\u003cbr\u003eHumbly and wisely, Pablo guides us beyond the 'why' of suffering to a place of hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pablo Martinez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1844741885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844741885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.41d","brand":"Pablo Martinez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943572701439,"sku":"9781844741885","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5fd08dff-b412-489f-876f-e1d55efadd8e.jpg?v=1681498859","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-thorn-in-the-flesh-jo-saxtron-9781844741885","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
