Limping Heavenward

Living by Faith in Comprehensive and Chronic Suffering

When prolonged, all-encompassing suffering decimates life, sufferers face painful questions about God—and unhelpful responses from others. Avoiding "miserable comfort," Hahn turns to Scripture for truths that build hope and endurance.

Life changing!

This book is for you if you’re asking things like: Why me? Why can other people live pain free lives while I suffer every day of mine? What’s the point of even trying anymore? Why does it feel like nobody understands or cares about my suffering? Did I do something to deserve this misery? These are all questions that have crossed my mind and I’ve cried out so many times to God because of the hopelessness and isolation I’ve experienced because of my chronic suffering. There’s tons of books out there on how to address the physical suffering (diet, exercise, meditation, medicine, etc) and lots of books out there on handling the emotional suffering. But what’s not addressed enough is our spiritual suffering. The pain deep in our hearts that’s so hard to put into words. This book totally changed my outlook on my suffering. The author has been there and suffered in the same ways we are. What she said affected me on so many levels, I just want to shout about this book from the rooftops. I cried a lot of tears reading this book because it put my suffering into words and gave me hope that I’m not alone and I’m not suffering because God turned His back on me or hates me. You aren’t alone in your suffering!
