When Will the Suffering End?

"From the soul of someone who lives with chronic pain and is also a believer, this book is a testament from the inside out. This topic is frequently not addressed in the protestant tradition because the emphasis is on the risen Christ; whereas in the Catholic tradition the suffering Christ is the central emphasis of worship. As a protestant, Stucky bravely and honestly confronts and exposes the all-to-often taboo on talking about the meaning of suffering. Like death, it is not an easy topic to contemplate. This book is a must-read for current or past practicing Christians who suffer and often blame or abandon God for God's seeming injustice."

Dr. JoAnn M Baird, Ed D, LMFT

"Suzanne's personal story is full of a gritty and raw resilience, tested and tried in the furnace of pain and affliction. As a believer, Suzanne has wrestled with her soul's most agonizing questions, ultimately submitting them to God as an act of trust in His sovereign majesty, all the while awaiting the miraculous healing that her heart longs to discover. As an author, Suzanne has invited readers to sojourn alongside her, finding a friend who encourages them to bring their sorrows to His throne. Desiring to see her own limping walk serve Him by encouraging others, she does not disappoint. Exploring the divine mysteries hidden within momentary sufferings, her writing cheers others onward toward a closer walk with Thee, culminating in His promise of a time when human suffering ends and a tear-free, pain-free eternity begins."

"Why do Christians suffer? It is a question asked for centuries. I just lost a good friend to cancer. He died way too early. Why God, why? I have known Suzanne for over 25 years as her friend and former pastor. It is my honor to recommend her thoughts and writings on the topic of suffering. Needless to say, she has done her lifework and homework on the topic. Buckle in and be ready to be challenged."

"This book is a gift to the Body of Christ. Not only has Suzanne provided accessible and solid biblical exegesis here, but she's done so in the service of helping people process the difficulties of suffering. But what makes the book so unique is that Suzanne weaves her exegetical work together with her soul work. She doesn't preach from afar about suffering. Rather, her personal health issues and how she deals with them validate what she says about suffering. This book is a biblically faithful, graciously personal, powerfully applicable guide in navigating the hard road of suffering."
