Wait and Hope: Puritan Wisdom for Joyful Suffering

by Jacob Tanner, Scott Wiebe (Narrator)

For the Christian, waiting is never for nothing. Since the fall, suffering has been a universal part of human experience. While the specific trials we face change, we all long for hope in the face of many burdens. No group of writers in church history grasped this better than the Puritans. In Wait and Hope, Jacob Tanner reminds us how the Puritans endured immense suffering in various aspects of the Christian life— from facing persecution and death to pursuing assurance through trials. By looking at the lessons they learned, suffering pilgrims today are invited to join the tradition of waiting in hope.

An enjoyable and accessible read on a difficult subject. Tanner writes at a popular level, and he weaves in far more than merely the Puritan material. He has a good number of personal anecdotes. This will make a fine volume for reference and personal encouragement in the future.
