“Theologically rich. Profoundly God-centered. Unflinchingly honest. Joy in the Sorrow is a deeply moving account of how unexpected suffering undergirded by faith in Christ leads to joy and hope. I will carry these people, their stories, and their extraordinary joy with me for a long time; they have changed me. Buy this book, read it, and give it to those you love who are suffering.” VANEETHA RENDALL RISNER, Author, The Scars That Have Shaped Me
“An incredible, personal, insightful journey led by one of my favorite teachers, Matt Chandler, as he and some of his friends share lessons brought to them by that greatest of all teachers in the Christian life—suffering. Martin Luther said that suffering, combined with prayer and meditation, is God’s instrument to turn us into faithful theologians. You’ll see that in this book, and you’ll be changed yourself for the reading. Likely, you’ll find yourself recommending it to someone even before you’re finished.” J.D. GREEAR, President of the Southern Baptist Convention; Pastor, The Summit Church, Durham, NC; Author, Above All
“Moving, inspiring, honest, and above all hope-filled. We must all walk through valleys in this life—and if you want to do so without losing joy and hope, then this is the book to read.” DR. TONY EVANS, Senior Pastor, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, Dallas; President, The Urban Alternative
“An honest, searching, and in places deeply moving book, Joy in the Sorrow gives a dozen examples of how suffering can strike, and how God in Christ gets us through it. The stories are very different, but each one shows in its own way that whatever our circumstances, he is enough.” ANDREW WILSON, Teaching Pastor, King’s Church London
