Pain
with Purpose by Rachel Adcock offers an overview of her life memoir that
reveals a purpose for pain and suffering that can bring forth hope and freedom
in Christ. With that in mind, she shares her life story, struggles, sickness,
mistakes and hindsight that culminate to a wonderful end.
She boldly states,
“Live life with the optimism that there is a purpose for your pain and a better
outcome in the future.” Readers will gain insight and encouragement as the
author shares her battle with cancer as a child, life challenges, and mistakes
that caused suffering. In the hope of helping others to go forward in their
lives, she gives readers an understanding that there is purpose in pain and a
brighter future ahead. She teaches how to view life with optimism, which is
wonderfully refreshing.
With
great care, practicality and honesty, she offers insight to the benefit to
life’s challenges, realizing that others have had it worse. Her life story
displays how pain does reveal a greater purpose, brings spiritual maturity, and
can be used by God to bring healing, to include a benefit to others. Her book
offers comfort in the fact that life does go on and it can be for the better. With
such chapters as: Sicker than Sick, Boys Will be Boys, Calling it Quits,
More Mistakes, Surviving the Single Life, Second Chances & Keeping
the Faith, readers will find encouragement, hope and confidence for their
future.
Rachel’s
story will captivate and encourage readers so that they can go on. She is an
optimist at heart and teaches others how to think more positively and gain
insight from past challenges. Her book is full of wisdom from many years
experience through difficult trials. Coupled with wonderful quotes and
sprinkled with some scripture verses, this book is well-done, speaks frankly
and is not an overly “preachy” autobiography. She reaches out to others in a
unique way through “Reflections” at the end of each chapter. In this way, she
shares her own insight from past events, the benefits from hindsight, and
concludes with discussion questions for the reader as an opportunity to
increase in their own growth and maturity.
This
is a highly recommended read for those that have experienced pain and suffering
and are looking for hope with a renewed perspective on life and painful
experiences.
