Count It All Joy: The Ridiculous Paradox of Suffering

4.5

Enjoyment: 4.0Quality: 5.0Characters: Plot:

✝️

Read this at the recommendation of a new friend. Wasn't sure what to expect. But this journal of sorts on why we experience suffering and the joy that can yet be derived in it, from and for God, is quite remarkable. A quick read, but one you probably shouldn't read as fast as you can. It's definitely worth sitting with each chapter for a while before embarking on the next.

I'll definitely be going back through and reviewing what I've underlined and annotated.
