Overview
No pain. No gain. It's a phrase we hate to hear. We all know that life sometimes stinks, and no amount of careful planning or persistent pleading can prevent it. But how can we deal with the flood of anxiety, negative attitude, and emotions in order to trust God through the anguish? Filled with illustrations of suffering from the author's own life, this book provides a roadmap for going through trials and suffering. By developing a thought process for facing difficult times, a Christian can do his or her part to minimize the shock and paralysis of such periods.

Reviews
The beauty of this book is that it goes against some unbiblical thinking today, from the philosophy that we should run away from trials instead of learning through them to the idea that trials such as depression are sinful. The book should give solid encouragement from Scripture to anyone facing difficulties. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter and an appendix of suggestions for small groups make the work a good Bible study. Endnotes and a Scripture index round out the contents. -- Baptist Bulletin (1/1/2006 12:00:00 AM) Hutchison reminds the reader that the battle for peace in the midst of trial is won or lost in our minds. How well we know God and how clearly we understand His purposes will drive our responses to difficulty. The biblical principles are well-described and practical for everyday life. The author has included discussion questions at the end of each chapter that make it an excellent choice for a small group.--Michael Queen American Association of Chr. Counselors.
