Product Highlights
"From the depths of his own personal experience, my longtime friend Stephen Olford has written the Sword of Suffering for anyone looking for solace from the pain and anxiety of suffering." Stephen Olford's most personal book, The Sword of Suffering, details his struggle with lymphoma cancer and the answers he found in 'the valley of the shadow of death.' Filled with instances of how the Scriptures became more real and precious to him through his ordeal, the book throbs with the heartbeat of a man liberated by the fires of God's mysterious, wonderful grace.
