The Christian life is rarely trouble-free and there are many trials that the people of God have to go through. They frequently need comfort and can even become despondent as they seek to cope with personal trials and afflictions, and as they face the abounding wickedness and ever-increasing hostility of a godless world. In this latest book in the topical series of The Guide Roger Ellsworth shows that the greatest comfort comes from God himself, who is indeed the source of all comfort. He is the one who can alleviate grief and encourage believers during the deepest of trials. There is no situation in which he cannot bring his comfort, and when we have experienced his love and care during such times we are encouraged to comfort others, until that coming day when we will sorrow no more because we are with him in eternity. In keeping with The Guide series, the author is straightforward and readable, and each chapter includes questions for further study or discussion.
