“I had not finished reading the introduction to this book before I was making a mental list of friends that I knew would find it a balm to their weary hearts. Kristen and Sarah minister to fellow travelers on the road of suffering, out of the resources they have received on their own journeys, from the God of all comfort, grace, and hope.” Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, author; Host/Teacher of Revive Our Hearts “Kristen and Sarah have let us in to listen to their meditations in the midst of pain and limitation. They’ve opened up their hearts, their stories, and their Word-filled words. From our various contexts, we will all learn as we listen. I’m grateful for this book’s faithful call to lift up our eyes to a God of mercy who loves and saves.” Kathleen Nielson, Director of Women’s Initiatives, The Gospel Coalition “This is a wonderful, vulnerable and honest book, and I highly recommend it to anyone who needs the good news of Jesus in a difficult time. Kristen and Sarah have suffered immensely, but both of them know that our only hope is found in Jesus.” Dave Furman, Senior Pastor of Redeemer Church, Dubai; author of Being There: How to Love Those Who are Hurting “We have been told that we can do anything, to dream big, because women are strong and capable. But what happens when you are confronted with your limitations in the form of suffering? When you feel weak and weary? Kristen and Sarah provide hope in your desperation, and they drive us to the cross of Christ, where all of our suffering makes sense.” Courtney Reissig, author of The Accidental Feminist “Pain is a place where hope grows best, and this book will convince you of that. From beginning to end, Hope When It Hurts invites you to see the light of Jesus in the darkest times. As you turn each new page, listen for the voice of God, and you’ll hear him cheering for you.” Karl Clauson, Radio Host at Moody Radio; author of Thrill: When Normal is Not Enough
