Let Christ Transform Your Pain: How Jesus Can Use Your Suffering to Bring About a Greater Good Let Christ Transform Your Pain: How Jesus Can Use Your Suffering to Bring About a Greater Good Elizabeth Stewart

 This was an excellent guide to coping with suffering, which was simply written and easy to follow. It is mostly for Catholics, but probably helpful to other Christians as well. The advice that I liked best was about trying to let go of all of the petty faults, such as small annoyances, envy and jealousy, so that you can deal with your bigger issues. She provides examples of how saints have dealt with pain, especially St Therese of Lisieux, as well as Jesus himself. Since I thankfully don't suffer from chronic pain, I found the part about dealing with mental troubles, such as feelings of malaise or even severe depression, more helpful to me, and perhaps most people

. As well as helping the reader to think about their problems in a more Christian way, and suggesting other authors to read, Elizabeth Stewart also tells how prayer and Bible-reading has helped her. I think that this section was very useful for readers, especially Catholic ones. I would be happy to read more of her books.
