Life inevitably brings loss and pain. While it is possible to live through these times in redemptive ways, this requires effort and conscious choice at a time when energy and motivation are in short supply and faith is often besieged by doubt.      Drawing from her own life and many years of counseling experience, Gay Hubbard offers patterns of effective thinking, practical daily activities, and the discipleship of self-care. Above all, she shows how to “know Christ, the power of His resurrection, the fellowship of His suffering, and, in this knowing, become like Him. It is a prospect to strengthen the weariest pilgrim, worn with the worst of pain.”
