Interweaving biblical insights and personal narratives, this
eloquently written book shows how God often uses suffering and
desert experiences to form us into Christ's image. Marlena Graves
shares her experiences of growing up poor in a house plagued by
mental illness as a means to explore the forces God uses to shape
us into beautiful people in the midst of brokenness.
This book offers a window into suffering through the motif of
desert spirituality, revealing how God can use our painful
experiences to show himself faithful. While no one welcomes
suffering, God often uses desert experiences--those we initially
despise and wouldn't wish on anyone--to transform us into beautiful
souls who better resemble Jesus. Graves shows how God can bring
life out of circumstances reeking of death and destruction, whether
those circumstances are crises or daily doses of quiet desperation.
Readers who have experienced suffering and question God's purpose
for it will benefit from this book, as will counselors, pastors,
professors, and mentors. It includes a foreword by John Ortberg and
Laura Ortberg Turner.
