Compensated Suffering

by Barbara Bryant

Suffering has the potential to leave individuals wounded if they attempt to maneuver, in their own strength, through life's challenges. Seldom do women and men, alike, read books that carefully guide them from the realities and horrors of suffering to a more joyous perspective of suffering. Compensated Suffering is inspiring for both men and women who have ever questioned the purpose of multiple and diverse trials! From chapter to chapter, encouragement leaps into your spirit as Barbara Bryant walks you through her personal and spiritual journey to a new paradigm of suffering-a paradigm built upon faith, forgiveness and renewal. Whether your suffering has manifested itself as a physical ailment, abuse, financial hardship or even a lengthy "holding" period, Barbara eloquently shares the new possibilities in God that can arise through the pain of suffering! Let Compensated Suffering minister to your throbbing heart and encourage you to increase your faith, broaden your spiritual perspective and walk in your God-given destiny! Barbara Bryant, one of the outstanding women of present day Christianity, is known for her dynamic expository preaching. As a speaker, minister, writer, youth mentor and founder of the Gifted To Be A Gift Foundation, she is committed to reaching the world with the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Barbara Bryant really captivates her reading audience through the pages of "Compensated Suffering". From the start to the finish I learned to embrace the trials of life and know that God is in the midst of every "But God" storm. So often we feel like God has left us but Supervisor Bryant assures us that " God is right" there by our sides. Evening though we don't like to suffer, I learned it is a part of life and my spiritual growth. In growing, she stresses the need for forgiveness and helps the reader to see that "Forgiveness is a gift to yourself" and you may have to spend some time in the "waiting room" but it will all be worth it in the end.
This is a much needed book of encouragement to any one who feels like they can't make it through the storm. A must for every library. Thank you Supervisor Bryant for being transparent and sharing your story with your reading audience.

This book is heart felt. Real life experience but the author shows how she was an overcomer
