The following books listed below have encouraged, convicted, validated, normalized, inspired, and comforted me all at the same time in my walk through suffering. Hearing the words and wisdom of fellow sufferers have soothed my soul more times than I can count. It has made me feel less alone, has given words to my pain, wisdom for my walk forward, and courage to share my suffering. These words have challenged the harmful beliefs I had about suffering and pointed me in a healthy theology of suffering. I have no connection to these authors and receive no kickback for referencing them. I just simply want to get these transformative words into the hands of others who may find similar comfort from their words.
