{"product_id":"suffering-is-never-for-nothing","title":"SUFFERING IS NEVER FOR NOTHING","description":"\u003cp\u003eHard times come for all in life, with no real explanation. When we walk through suffering, it has the potential to devastate and destroy, or to be the gateway to gratitude and joy.  \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\nElisabeth Elliot was no stranger to suffering. Her first husband, Jim, was murdered by the Waoroni people in Ecuador moments after he arrived in hopes of sharing the gospel. Her second husband was lost to cancer. Yet, it was in her deepest suffering that she learned the deepest lessons about God.  \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\nWhy doesn't God do something about suffering? He has, He did, He is, and He will.  \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\nSuffering and love are inexplicably linked, as God's love for His people is evidenced in His sending Jesus to carry our sins, griefs, and sufferings on the cross, sacrificially taking what was not His on Himself so that we would not be required to carry it. He has walked the ultimate path of suffering, and He has won victory on our behalf.  \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\nThis truth led Elisabeth to say, \"Whatever is in the cup that God is offering to me, whether it be pain and sorrow and suffering and grief along with the many more joys, I'm willing to take it because I trust Him.\"  \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\nBecause suffering is never for nothing.  \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n-Publisher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher Description\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e: Elisabeth Elliot (1926-2015) was a Christian author and speaker. She, having lived through great loss, taught on God's grace in the midst of hardship, as well as teaching wives and mothers to fulfill the high calling of Titus 2.  \u003cbr\u003e\n   \u003cbr\u003e\n In her final book, Elisabeth Elliot describes how it is often through the deepest suffering that God teaches us the deepest lessons. As we trust Him through our trials, we come to a greater assurance of His love and sovereignty-even as He works all things together for the good of those who love Him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEAN: 9781535914154\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 128\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Christian Living\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 7mm x215mm x139mm\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: February 2019\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Broadman \u0026amp; Holman\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ELLIOT ELISABETH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52148271513881,"sku":"9781535914154","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/8757\/8905\/files\/9781535914154_1409905.jpg?v=1774324495","url":"https:\/\/crossroad.com.au\/products\/suffering-is-never-for-nothing","provider":"Crossroad Distributors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
