Publisher's summary

Too often the Christian attitude toward suffering is characterized by a detached academic appeal to God's sovereignty, as if suffering were a game or a math problem. Or maybe we expect that since God is good, everything will just work out all right somehow. But where, then is honest lament? Aren't we shortchanging believers of the riches of the Christian teaching about suffering?

In Embodied Hope, Kelly Kapic invites us to consider the example of our Lord Jesus. Only because Jesus has taken on our embodied existence, suffered alongside us, died, and been raised again can we find any hope from the depths of our own dark valleys of pain. As we look to Jesus, we are invited to participate not only in his sufferings, but also in the church, which calls us out of isolation and into the encouragement and consolation of the communal life of Christ.

Drawing on his own family's experience with prolonged physical pain, Kapic reshapes our understanding of suffering into the image of Jesus, and brings us to a renewed understanding of - and participation in - our embodied hope.

A must read for Pastors and visitors

Kelly Kapic highlights the need for the church to grieve and share our grief. In doing so we become His hands, His feet, and His vehicle for healing and enduring hurts of this temporal world. Adam Verne perfectly voices this book; his soft slow tone apropriately brings it to life.

The book I’m most grateful for

This book is a balm. It is generous, deeply thoughtful, healing, and helpful. Each time I return to its pages I am again reminded of truths I so quickly forget.
