(Download)

"Leslie Montgomery guides the way from places of deep personal hurt to vantage points for viewing the bigger story. I especially appreciated her insights on the full armor of God. Remembering that the sword belongs to the Spirit of God (and not to me) and that prayer keeps me alert to strategic communication with my Leader (Christ) will improve my effectiveness in spiritual battle. God's personal provision for every need is evident on each page of this wonderful book!"
Jim Vigorito, Focus on the Family

"So many of us wish we could erase the word suffering out of the dictionary; we'd like to escape it, medicate it, ignore it-do everything but embrace it as part of God's plan for our life. In her book Leslie Montgomery seeks to show us how to hold fast to the Lord in the midst of pain and problems!"
Joni Eareckson Tada, the Joni and Friends International Disability Center

To help us understand the relationship and interaction between human suffering and God's power and love, author Leslie Montgomery looks at the details of Jesus' example of suffering. Redemptive Suffering will help all believers learn to deal with suffering so they can experience the growth and learning that come with it.
