Description for Teachers/Educators

Father Jonathan Morris has traveled to the most troubled parts of the world. He has met with Muslim youth during riots in Paris, sat down with populists who opposed the Church in Venezuela, and investigated human trafficking in Germany. Now Father Jonathan examines the questions that inevitably arise in response to human suffering. With calm pastoral guidance, he leads readers through each step of the process of suffering-from doubt and anger to healing and acceptance. The Promise helps readers transform what would otherwise be useless suffering into a means of healing and personal fulfillment. Father Jonathan cuts through the philosophical and theological jargon to provide not only a spiritual but also a practical answer to the most fundamental of human questions: why do we suffer?
