الصلاة في المعاناة

I was really struck by how the book frames illness as a chance to draw closer to God rather than just a trial to endure. The way it addresses those quiet, painful moments with scripture and prayer felt deeply personal and helpful.

The chapter on finding God in physical pain hit home for me, and the way it frames illness as a doorway rather than a dead end felt like a warm hand on the shoulder. I’ve read it twice already, and each time I catch something new in the passages about solitude.

I picked it up during a rough stretch of chemo and the short, focused prayers fit perfectly between treatments. The way it frames illness as an invitation rather than a punishment gave me a quiet peace I wasn't expecting. Already bought a second copy for my sister going through surgery.
