A Traveler's Guide Through Suffering and Joy

Both suffering and joy pursue us. Once you thought you could evade suffering, but now you know better, and you want to be prepared. When in the middle of distress, you want to know how to deal with it. You want to know how to live a meaningful life, no matter the challenges. Meaning births joy. Where is the meaning?This interactive book arms you with a biblically grounded theology of suffering and joy to nourish your soul and direct your feet. "As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him" (Colossians 2:6). Here, all Christ-followers become "Pedestrian Theologians." Pacing our walk, we will explore the ground under our feet, the winding way up, and the unexpected views. We will discover nine genres of suffering with their corresponding genres of joy. Travel with me, and let's pray, savor, change, and grow in Christ Jesus, our Lord, Savior, and coming bridegroom.
