Book description:  

Joy and pain are both aspects of the call of God for the Christian. The Bible even presents pain as a trigger for joy. The Call to Joy and Pain explores how this is so, showing the connection between rejoicing and suffering, how suffering draws us nearer to God, and how suffering makes us more effective in service.

Ministerial veteran Ajith Fernando combines biblical exposition, keen pastoral insight, and cross-cultural wisdom in his writing. He opens readers’ eyes to a truth they may already suspect: we in the West have much to learn about suffering.

By examining Paul’s words on the subject of suffering for Christ from Colossians 1:24-29, Fernando thoughtfully explains how suffering can be a blessing to the individual Christian and to the church as a whole. His book will help Christians joyfully embrace the life of service and total devotion to Jesus, despite the pain it entails.

 


Book Bargains Review

 

The Call to Joy and Pain does an excellent job in reminding us that life isn't always a bed of roses, but as Christians we will experience pain that God will use for our own good and to bring Him glory.  The author points out that going through trials does NOT mean God is punishing us, but preparing us for the future. 

Fernando uses very short chapters each containing a poignant story to bring about his message: We can find joy through the pain.  This was not light reading, but very worth my time.
