This book came to me at just the right time.  I was going through my own season of breaking and Lon Solomon put into words a simple but profound explanation of God’s sanctifying work.  It filled my heart with hope that the suffering we face is not random and purposeless, but actually a great instrument of God’s love.  He loves us enough to break us, for then we are positioned to receive from Him.  For the content and the timing, this book makes the cut of 20 “Must Pack” books.
