Making Sense Out of Suffering by Peter Kreeft
Paperback
Publisher: Servant Ministries (May 1986)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0892832193
ISBN-13: 978-0892832194

For every person who has ever wept and wondered, “Why am I suffering?” Kreeft observes the endless, random, seemingly pointless pain which affects people and seeks to be our guide to understanding. Like Job, the author relates his wrestling match with God concerning suffering and brings us on his journey of understanding that the only way to win was to lose. Peter Kreeft, professor of philosophy at Boston College, is the author of such well-received books as Between Heaven and Hell, Making Choices, Socrates Meets Jesus.

You can purchase the book by ordering it at MorningStar Books and Gifts in Lombard, Barnes & Noble or at Borders or order online from any of the major online bookstores, like Amazon. It is also available through many Public Libraries.

Review from Publishers Weekly:
Mother Teresa was one of the most revered people of the 20th century, so it is no surprise that 10 years after her death people still want to know what impelled this poor, humble Albanian woman to give her life to God so completely. Kolodiejchuk, a Catholic priest and friend of Mother Teresa’s who is actively promoting her cause for sainthood, assembles a startling and impressive collection of her writings, most of which have never been seen by the public. Two themes especially shine through in Mother Teresa’s letters, namely, her absolute conviction that she was doing God’s will, and a deep and surprising chasm of darkness within her that some would call the dark night of the soul. It is also apparent that this saintly woman was no pushover. In her quest to found the Missionaries of Charity, she aggressively pursued approval from her bishop, fully confident that God desired this work to be done. Kolodiejchuk is at times a bit presumptive in his interpretations of Teresa’s letters, as no one can say for certain what was in her mind and heart at all times. What we do know, in part thanks to this volume, is that Mother Teresa’s vocation to care for the poorest of the poor will continue to inspire people for generations.
 
You can purchase the book by ordering it at Barnes & Noble or at Borders or order online from any of the major online bookstores, like MorningStar Books and Gifts in Lombard or at Amazon. It is also available through many Public Libraries.
