    About this ebook

    When pain is real, why is God silent? This brand new collection is the best of acclaimed author Frederick Buechner's essays on pain, loss, and the healing power of memories that explores God's tender grace and how to be stewards of the pain in our lives.

    Here now are the best of Buechner's writings on pain and loss, covering such topics as the power of hidden secrets, loss of a dearly beloved, letting go, resurrection from the ruins, peace, and listening for the quiet voice of God. And he reveals that pain and sorrow can be a treasure—an amazing grace.

    This Participant Guide provides an introduction to the main text and can also stand alone with additional commentary and questions for a four week study. With summaries and commentary for each essay, the book provides questions and prompts for reflection and discussion.
