    Glorious Ruin: How Suffering Sets You Free

    About this audiobook

    In this world, one thing is certain: Everybody hurts. Suffering may take the form of tragedy, heartbreak, or addiction. Or it could be something more mundane (but no less real), like resentment, loneliness, or disappointment. But there's unfortunately no such thing as a painless life. In Glorious Ruin, best-selling author Tullian Tchividjian takes an honest and refreshing look at the reality of suffering, the ways we tie ourselves in knots as we try to deal with it, and the comfort of the gospel for those who can't seem to fix themselves - or others. This is not so much an audio book about why God allows suffering or even how we should approach suffering - it is an audio book about the tremendously liberating and gloriously counterintuitive truth of a God who suffers with you and for you. It is an audio book, in other words, about the kind of hope that takes the shape of a cross.

      This was a really good book. It is Christ centered and biblically stuffed. This is the first book that I read of this author. The way ideas were written was well done and even when certain topics came up, the author had a way to describe it in a understandable way. Knowing the history of the author saddens me because he had a powerful voice to be heard, but fell to the very things he wrote about to watch for. Even though this happened you can still gain much for this book.

      Tullian - A theology of the cross defines life in terms of giving rather than taking, self-sacrifice rather than self-protection, dying rather than killing. Oh, yeah, and don't forget life is suffering. God is still there just don't go sending any pies into the sky.
