Book Review The Scars That Have Shaped Me: How God Meets Us in Suffering - Vaneetha Rendall Risner


This is an astonishingly moving book, with a powerful spiritual message. The author's illness and tragic circumstances are extreme, but through it all she finds God's grace and is able to speak of the joy she finds in knowing her love in Jesus. She has some profound insights into suffering and where God is to be found in such times.


The author has faced irreparable loss and unfixable damage, but she presses on in hope and pursues her joy in Jesus Christ. Not only is her story riveting and heart-wrenching, it is also full of unflinching hope in God. This is an excellent book filled with messages of hope and encouragement. It was an easy read both in the style of her writing and the length of the chapters. I would highly recommend this book.
