Suffering and Intimacy
Who Are You, God? Suffering and Intimacy with God
Janet's latest book offers a bird's eye of suffering and the power it has to transform our lives.
Everyone suffers. Suffering is human
It is not suffering in itself that is the problem
It is what we, as suffers, believe about God and suffering that can restrict our ability to cope, prevent us from healing, or even make our suffering worse
If we who suffer have or can develop a loving image of God and enter into a healing process, we will have greater intimacy with God and our faith will deepen
In fact, intimacy with God transforms our suffering.
Our relationship with God makes all the difference
This book pulses with the pain, relief, and insights of people who shared their intimate stories with the author—women and men of all ages, and from all walks of life. Many of these people said they experienced part of their healing just in telling their story.
The central theme is this: If people who suffer have or can develop a loving image of God and enter into a healing process, they will have greater intimacy with God and their faith will deepen.
Intimacy with God transforms suffering.
“In what I believe may be one of her best books, Janet Hagberg writes about her own journey of life suffering with such tender and honest vulnerability that we are led by her hand to feel safe enough to dare enter into the darkness of our own life’s pain. Then she masterfully takes our hand and offers to place ours into God’s loving grip so that the darkness is no longer a place full of fear but becomes a place where hope is all we see.”
Rev. Keith Meyers, Pastor, mentor and author of Whole Life Transformation and Kingdom Life.
Here is a pithy summary of the four types of suffering and the healing journey they can take: So much depends on how our image of God has healed and what kind of a healing process we enter into. God is present in all of our suffering. This book is available in whole or bite-sized versions on kindle, dedicated to each different kind of suffering. Where is God in Death? Where is God in Divorce? Where is God in Illness? Where is God in Abuse?
