Along the path of life we all experience the turbulence and trials of afflictions. Sometimes our suffering can be directly traced to our own irresponsible or disobedient behavior. The good news and the primary thrust of this booklet is that God allows and/or orchestrates Affectionate Afflictions in our lives so we can become more like Him. He loves us so much that He is willing to allow suffering to accomplish His eternal purpose. Written by Dr. Ken Nichols, Pastor of Family Ministries at Shadow Mountain Community Church and founder and president of ALIVE Ministries. Softcover. 48 pages.
