David B. Biebel

Speaking with the voice of one who has been there, David Biebel describes the pain of loss or hardship, analyzes it in depth, then suggests how we might use the pain to move onto better things. He explains the often difficult to perceive concept of how pain and suffering can add strength to our character and deepen our spiritual walk. He also goes into the cause of suffering. Does God bring it about or only allow it? How does He use it in our lives and the lives of those we come in contact with? Do all things truly work for good?

After losing my son a few years ago at the young age of 24, I can identify with the conflicting emotions associated with feeling our hurt, ‘getting over it’ from a worldview standpoint and moving into a closer relationship with our Heavenly Father. I especially enjoyed Mr. Biebel’s poetry sprinkled throughout the book and his premise that suffering can stimulate our creativity. I have experienced this firsthand.

This book is a gentle reminder that God is still the God of miracles and blessings, taking the focus off our pain. We are loved and cherished by our Creator to the point where He gave His son to be the atonement for our sin. Heavenly joy can be ours, even in the face of suffering.

Thank you Mr. Biebel, for baring your heart and pain to help others struggling with the injuries life wields and pointing the way to a kind and loving Heavenly Father. I plan to buy copies of this book to share with friends I know can benefit from his wise and perceptive words.

NCLA Review -While portions of this book contain challenging medical terms, I encourage you to keep reading. The book is written by a minister who is also a health educator and a husband-wife Christian medical team. They offer 40 ways to stay involved in a changing world plus numerous websites for further information. For example, one of the survival tricks listed in a chapter about memorizing is to not become discouraged but rather celebrate that you are giving your brain a great workout when learning something new. Their sense of humor and Christian approach adds to their valuable insights for anyone interested in good health for the brain. Rating: 3 —BE… (plus d'informations)
