Overview

A Journey In, Through, and Beyond Pain...In 1992, Allen Boyle, a successful businessman, was hit by a sudden, searing pain in his head, sending him to the emergency room. Eventually he was diagnosed with a cyst in the brain-a condition that would have a tremendous impact on his future, both physically and spiritually. After 23 surgeries, Allen has learned a little something about pain. But he has also gained some valuable insights into the benefits of pain and loss-that there is hope and purpose behind suffering. He has discovered the secret to coping with pain-both mental and physical-and he shares his findings in a way that all readers can relate to. His hope is to encourage and give comfort to others, even as God has encouraged and comforted him. ...Rejoicing Comes in the Morning is a powerfully moving testament of courage, faith, and hope. Allen Boyle is living proof that his message and teaching on the subject of pain are grounded in the eternal reality that God is purposeful and that 'all things work together for the good of those who love God...' (Romans 8:28, HCSB). On that foundation of belief and understanding, Allen presents evidence from his personal journey, with clear and compelling support from Scripture, that the power to help others in times of crisis and pain emanates from the suffering that God allows to come into the lives of faithful Christians. Without a doubt, ...Rejoicing Comes in the Morning will comfort and strengthen many of its readers who are struggling to make sense out of their own or others' pain. - Dr. Gene A. Getz, President, Center for Church Renewal.

Author Information

Allen Boyle was born 64 years ago in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and was raised with two younger brothers. Allen moved to San Diego, California with his family in 1961. After graduating from high school in 1966 he joined the United States Air Force. Shortly thereafter Allen married the girl next door (actually Karen lived across the street). While serving in the Air Force, Allen and Karen were stationed in Germany for 31/2 years, where they started their family. They were then stationed in the Philippines for 21/2 years, and they continued to enlarge their family. They were stationed in San Bernardino, California for two years. Allen and his beautiful bride of 45 years have four grown children and 13 grandchildren. He now lives in Southern California with his wife and two dogs, an AKC Champion Australian Cattle Dog named Tank and a miniature short-haired dachshund named Gretel (not a champion but she is a sweet little girl). Allen practices teaching Bible lessons to Gretel, who sits patiently but with questionable comprehension! This teacher's alma mater is Dallas Bible College where he studied Bible following his eight years of service in the military. Now a retired elder, he holds a Masters-level DCS degree from Tyndale Theological Seminary. Mr. Boyle is currently finishing His Doctor of Ministries Degree (D. Min.) while he continues to write and teach adult Bible Studies. Allen is an accomplished writer, classroom and seminar teacher. He has taught throughout the Continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada. Allen's goal through his Bible Studies, devotions, and Treatises is to help Christian adults mature in Christ and to become more like Him, as He is revealed to them in the Scriptures. A Ph. D. Professor from a respected seminary recently described Allen as sharp as a tack after proofing one of his treatises. He went on to say, Clearly, 23 brain surgeries have not affected this man's thinking or writing ability. Mr. Boyle's testimony and other writing may be seen on his Website at: mybiblestudies.us.
