My Heart Hurts: A Guide to the Theology of Pain and Suffering

by andrew damazio

This is a book on the theology of pain and suffering, and why God has allowed such evil to persist in his beautiful world.

In this life, there is no way to get out unscathed; you will go through difficult waters and troubling times. There is no escaping it. No matter how much money you make, how famous you are, or how wise you are, it's a part of the human experience. So therefore we need an answer to it, a reason to look through it to hope on the other side.

Pastor Andrew is my Pastor at Rose Church, and always shares God’s word in the most beautiful of ways. I was so excited to read this book with this in mind, and it exceeded my expectations farther than I could’ve imagined. I’ve dealt with a lot of pain and suffering throughout my life in a variety of ways and have definitely questioned “why me?” and “why” to God, and this book has opened my eyes to dealing with that in a completely different light. Jesus dealt with the utmost amount of suffering, what makes us think we won’t? Beautifully written, Andrew!!! 5/5 from me!

“What do you expect me to do now?” And her response back was kind, but quick. “Pick up the pieces you have left, and build the best life you possibly can.”
I highly recommend this book. Pastor Andrew has such an honest, insightful and profound manner of teaching and of sharing his wisdom. I cannot wait to see what’s next!
