Suffering Its Meaning for the Spirit-Filled Life Craig S. Keener
Suffering is an undeniable aspect of life. In this book, New Testament scholar Craig Keener delves into the perennial question of hardship, offering a biblical understanding of suffering and resilience. Balancing insightful exposition of Scripture with compelling stories of Christians worldwide who have faced trials for their faith, Keener reveals how believers can endure by the power of the Holy Spirit. Acknowledging the reality of suffering, Keener provides guidance on how to respond to life’s challenges and learn from the experiences of others. Rooted in a charismatic perspective yet broadly appli - cable, this work offers hope and meaning in the midst of suffering, reminding us of our ultimate hope in the new creation. Professors, students, church leaders, and anyone seeking to understand suffering within the context of a Spirit-filled life will benefit from this illuminating study. “A wonderful resource that teaches us how to endure trial, perse- cution, and suffering. It is packed full of insights from Scripture along with difficult but profound stories of those who have given their lives for the sake of the gospel.” —Bill Johnson, senior leader, Bethel Church, Redding, California; author of Removing the Sting of Death and God Is Good “Everybody should read this book, whether Christian or non- Christian, whether charismatic or non-charismatic. It shook me, showing me not only how little I know but also how little I have suffered. No one will be the same after reading this book.” —Dr. R. T. Kendall, former Senior Minister, Westminster Chapel (1977–2002) “This book bears witness to my own long-standing maxim: We have a gospel worth living for and a gospel worth dying for.” —Most Rev. Dr. Benjamin A. Kwashi, former archbishop of the Ecclesiastical Province of Jos in the Anglican Church of Nigeria
