Book review — Hope In The Face Of Suffering – 20 daily devotions for tough times

Hope In The Face Of Suffering – 20 daily devotions for tough times

This is Jeremy Marshall’s second book, both of which are aimed at bringing hope to people going through difficult circumstances in their lives. You can’t argue with Jeremy – he is walking the talk as he copes with his own terminal cancer diagnosis. This book delivers. None of the devotions are too long which is important because so often it is difficult to concentrate when you are facing suffering as a daily reality. The devotions are rooted in scripture, hymns and human experience, avoiding glib answers and pietistic sentiments. Each devotion points the reader to Christ. ‘In the meantime, let us love to see the print of his shoe and to hear his voice and the sound of his name.’
