Many Christians have the underlying belief that if they are truly following Jesus, they will be exempt from suffering in this life. As a result, they are often surprised when they go through hard times and are likely to experience doubt, hopelessness, and anger toward God. But what if God’s chosen means of blessing was through suffering? Would you choose that path? Through the author’s personal story of suffering the loss of his twin sister in the prime of her life and through biblical examples of sufferers who have gone before, Haywood outlines in this book how God is faithful amidst our suffering and how the abundant Christian life here on Earth is still possible if we are willing to fight for it. No matter the battle you are facing, know this: God is fighting with you—going before you, standing in front of you, and guarding behind you. Even in your suffering, he is leading you to the abundant life he has promised. Based on that reality, you can view whatever situation you are in with hope.
