Description

Through personal stories and biblical wisdom, the award-winning authors of Hope When It Hurts remind us that weakness isn’t the end of our story—it’s the very place Jesus meets us.

“Kristen Wetherell and Sarah Walton serve as wise and understanding guides through the all-too-common struggles we all have with loneliness, fear, doubt, and grief.”—Nancy Guthrie, author and bible teacher

Pain changes everything. It changes how people pray, how they hope, and how they relate to God.

Many of us are walking through something hard: chronic illness, deep loss, lingering doubt, or a season that just won’t let up. Authors Kristen Wetherell and Sarah Walton know what that's like. They've lived it too.

This book journeys through the Gospels to meet Jesus in the ordinary and the hard places of life, inviting readers to experience his nearness in a new way. At the center of the Christian story is this astonishing truth: God does not stay distant from human suffering. Jesus took on flesh and stepped into the world—its limits, its grief, and its pain.

This book offers truth and comfort to those caught in life's darkest moments, including:

When the miracle doesn't come When death seems to win When you feel alone in your doubts When you feel like a bad Christian When you wonder if God is punishing you When you feel misunderstood When fear consumes you
Strength is not required to come to him. He has already come near. And even here, in the hard place, he is with us.
