Just the preface and first chapter of this book gave me more insights than the entirety of most religious books that I have read! For example, the author explains why suffering necessarily has an element of mystery to it - because the suffering of Christ in whose footsteps we follow had that same element.
If you are suffering now and haven't yet found peace with it, you will be blessed by this book. If you are expecting that your own dying may involve a degree of suffering, read it and make notes now, so that when the storm comes, you will be prepared.
