Preaching God's Compassion: Comforting Those Who Suffer (Fortress Resources for Preaching)

Rating:
Summary: Real Help In The Most Difficult of Pastoral Circumstances
Review: Professors Aden and Hughes have successfully completed what few would have the courage to contemplate. Without blinking, they stared into the utter darkness of loss, illness, violence, fear and failure. Then, they applied the Gospel proclamation to each situation, thereby creating the possibility of hope in the midst of suffering.

Unlike earlier expository preachers, their work is not overly historical. Unlike the American "positive" preachers, of the last two centuries, their work is well-grounded and theologically sound.

What Professors Aden and Hughes have given us is a text that is relevant and profound. Any seminarian, deacon, elder, minister, pastor, priest, dean, or bishop who preaches to people in pain would benefit by keeping a copy of this book close at hand.
