LONGWOOD, FLÑDo you suffer with trials and tribulations in your daily life? If you said yes, then you share one thing in common with thousands of people across the world. In Linda L. Frisby's Suffering: A Journey Toward Spiritual Renewal and Healing (paperback, 978-1-60477-377-4), readers will learn the meaning of suffering and its uses, why we suffer, the benefits of suffering, and what choices we can make and the right responses to have in order to accomplish GodÕs purpose in our lives as we overcome our afflictions and move toward spiritual renewal and healing.
As Frisby can attest, daily trials, tribulations, and suffering are made manageable by dependence on God. As a sufferer of chronic depression since childhood, as well as the victim of several automobile accidents, she has learned over the years how to stay focused on God and how to draw from His Word to overcome her afflictions. "As I depend on His grace, walk in His love, and meditate on His Word, I experience a more intimate relationship with Him each day," she says.
The Bible says there has been suffering in the world since Adam and Eve and that we sometimes suffer because of the sins of others, our own choices, or even other events. As long as there are people on this earth, the problem of suffering will not go away. "This topic has no timeline," Frisby says. "It can be examined at any time by persons of any level of faith, in any society, environment, or circumstance."
Linda L. Frisby is an accomplished writer, poet, and artist. She attributes her many talents solely to God.
