Understanding with a Plan August 25, 2008
This book had so much more than an explanation for suffering. I liked the personal examples and also the references to earlier writings on the topic. Beyond understanding it offers concrete steps for living in hope. The structure of the book makes it easy to read in any order. Definitely one that I will loan to friends and re-visit from time to time.
Just the right book! August 12, 2008
It helps you understand why God let's us suffer, specially when we have lost someone we really love. I recommend this book to everyone that is going through a difficult loss...
The Promise - understanding more about hurting July 6, 2008
Fr. Jonathan has written a book that is easy to read, clarifies people's impressions of God and just what He does in their lives, and mainly, his style of writing makes it more helpful in understanding other people in all walks of life. I love the book and have already given it to a couple of priest friends of mine for their anniversary gifts. This book would be good for a book study group for Eucharistic ministers, etc.
Very moving and an eye opener June 13, 2008

One of the best books I had read, well aside from Pope John Paul's encyclical letter "Salvifici Doloris" The Christian Meaning of Suffering", both were awesome and classic in their explanation about the subject.
Quoting the letter that looks at the passage of "Good Samaritan" pierced me, "...suffering is present in the world in order to release love, in order to GIVE birth to works of love towards neighbor, in order to transform the whole human civilization into a "civilization of love".
"The first and second parts of Christ's words about the Final Judgment unambiguously show how essential it is, for the eternal life of every individual, to "STOP" as the Good Samaritan did".
A wonderf book for any hurting soul May 29, 2008

Father Jonathan has a simple process for advancing from the hurts of life to a full Life in Christ. The many examples he uses from his own email are touching, and some of them will hit home for virtually everybody. You have a friend who needs this book.
