Linda L. Frisby is an accomplished writer, poet, and artist. She attributes her many talents solely as a gift from God. She has experienced spiritual, emotional and physical suffering throughout her life. Even as she still suffers daily with chronic physical pain, God has used her talents as a means to bless others. Suffering: A Journey Toward Spiritual Renewal and Healing is her first book. Do you suffer with trials and tribulations in your daily life? I believe we all will suffer daily until our very last breath is drawn. This book is about God and about suffering. If you desire a closer walk with God this faith-filled message of love and healing is for you. In our every day lives we experience suffering, whether severe or light, avoidable or unavoidable, of little or great consequence or deserved or undeserved. On our journey toward spiritual renewal and healing we will learn the meaning of suffering and its uses. We will come to know why we suffer and learn the benefits of suffering. We will discover our responsibilities and the right choices to make to have a more intimate relationship with God. We will learn that God has already answered us, "You have got my grace ... and, my beloved child that is all you need."
