NONFICTION BOOK REVIEW #2020-025 - Moving From Pain to Peace: A Journey Toward Hope

THERE ISN’T A SOUL WHO HASN’T EXPERIENCED PAIN IN THEIR LIVES

I read this book via an Amazon KINDLE unlimited download.

Let’s face it; there isn’t a soul who hasn’t some pain/loss in their lives, stemming from a myriad of circumstances. The unfortunate thing is that the vast majority of individuals have no idea of who they can turn to in their hour of need. Christians are a bit more fortunate in this regard since they’ve got the Lord and His book, the Bible.

Of all the books in the Bible, I find that PSALMS is a treasury of knowledge when it comes to this suffering, for it’s fraught with individuals who have cried out to the Lord in regards to their despairs, pains, loss, impediments, etc. At the same time, PSALMS teaches us about the comfort the Lord gives when we are in His presence amid our pain, as we recall His wondrous faithfulness and kindness.

If we read PSALM 4 [NKJV] in verse, we find:

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

While PSALMS might be a part of what one needs to combat their plight, it’s not the entire solution; and for that, one needs to have a guide who is familiar with the Bible as a whole; which is what the author of this book, Tammy Kennington, has become with the writing of this book. Ms. Kennington desires to take her readers on a journey through supplication and scripture as they’re journalizing it that has gotten designed to inspire them hopefully tackle their issues, become straightforward with the Lord, as they invite Him into the inner reaches of their hearts, all to go from being a pain sufferer to an individual who is at peace with themselves and the world.

The author’s aspiration to accomplish this through the pages of this book for her readers is the reason this reviewer of nonfiction Christian books has given the author 5 STARS.
