There have been many books written recently to guide Christians through suffering, guiding them through times in which it feels like their world has fallen apart. But what about situations in which your world falls apart in almost every way for no apparent reason, and continues falling apart with no end in sight? In Limping Heavenward, Karrie Hahn speaks to Christians who endure this sort of suffering which she calls "comprehensive" and "chronic." She doesn't write from a distant theoretical perspective, or even the perspective of a helper, but the perspective of someone who has walked down this road, and continues to walk down it, and wants to share her wisdom to those who suffer and those who want to help them. Since everyone's experience of such suffering is different, different chapters will be particularly helpful. As I've counselled others who are suffering, the wisdom from chapter 3 on Satan's attacks on sufferers is eye-opening to people. Such sufferers often sense that there is malicious intent at work against them, and what a good thing it is to hear that this intent comes from Satan and not from God! For this, and much other wisdom, I strongly recommend this book.
