And yet suffering demands an answer. If Jesus is the answer to suffering, what kind of answer is Jesus? Everything that could be taken from a person was taken from him. The worst things a person could be made to see and feel were seen and felt by Christ. All of this came to a point in the nails driven into his hands and became a word that cannot be unspoken--his body broken and his blood poured out for us. Suffering has been made holy by Christ's proximity to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Andrew Bryant \u003c\/b\u003eis a caregiver, writer, and part-time street pastor in a small steel town outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he lives with his wife, Becca.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lexham Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50568707506450,"sku":"9781683597049","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_64d5e20b-bc45-4a83-a593-270373ba451b.jpg?v=1731948235","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/a-quiet-mind-to-suffer-with-mental-illness-trauma-and-the-death-of-christ-9781683597049","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
