    The Mission of Sorrow

    Written by Gardiner Srping

    Narrated by John Scargall

    About this audiobook

    In this book, American minister Gardiner Spring tackles the inescapable question of suffering. What is the purpose of Christian sorrow? Using
    Scripture, Spring argues the nature and purpose of these difficult experiences is to bring us into closer communion with God. He assures the reader, “How far above the ‘sorrows of nature’ are the ‘consolations of grace.’”
