The world is filled with sin, sorrow, and suffering. Fortunately for those who believe in the redeeming love of Jesus Christ there is a hope which is found amidst that suffering. In these rich lectures you find that the hope and growth brought through suffering does not diminish the pain and sorrow we feel, but at the same time the truths gleaned through suffering are invaluable. These lectures share stories of austere suffering in order to show that as the pain abates, truth, beauty, and goodness abound. The annual Torrey Bible Conference explores the meaning of suffering.
