SUFFERING

For those who struggle with the spiritual and practical issues around suffering and faith, Bruce recently wrote a book entitled ‘BEHIND THE TEARS – Understanding, Surviving and Growing from Suffering’ to guide and help others in this area.

Includes the obvious types of suffering experienced today, such as cancer and natural disasters, but also the ‘hidden’ types of suffering, such as depression, pain, conflict, sexuality, gender issues, and disillusionment.

This book on suffering is amazing, complemented as it is by his own powerful and engaging experiences. It has stirred so much that is rich for me.

Bruce is often been asked to talk about the issue of suffering because of his extensive experience of suffering in its deepest and most visceral form with dying patients and in disaster zones.

This book is particularly relevant to those who ask “how could God allow this?” and “how can I survive and grow from this suffering?”

For those who are dying, or who have a loved one who is dying, he wrote a widely shared newspaper article entitled ‘The Good Side of Dying’ and also another journal article both based on his own personal experience of excruciating pain.
