<br/><br/> Through this book, Gloria Beech Jackson, has a desire to help Christians, particularly ministers and other leaders, to actualize a biblical perspective on suffering as an integral component of their call to serve God, the body of Christ, and the world. As Dr. Jackson underlines, the biblical author of Luke and Acts demonstrates that just as it was necessary for Jesus to suffer, His followers, also must suffer; however, the apostle Paul associates with this suffering a glory to which it is unworthy to be compared. It is on this glory that Dr. Jackson encourages us to "fix our eyes" (2 Cor. 4:18).
