Is it possible to face the darkest days of life with hope and joy and
purpose? The life of Colleen Chao was bright and beautiful-it was
brimming with hope and possibility. She was a talented, confident, and
ambitious young woman. So, Colleen never imagined that she'd swim
through two decades of deep-water anxiety and depression. She didn't
guess that she'd marry late, suffer years of chronic pain and
illness, and give birth to a child with health complications. And never
in her life did she imagine hearing the words: "Cancer. Stage four.
Terminal." In the Hands of a Fiercely Tender God is born of the
suffering that on its own could have crushed Colleen. Her pain, instead,
opened her eyes to eternal realities and has wrought a soul of
indestructible joy. How do we suffer long and well? What do we do when
we feel cheated? How do we face pressing darkness? One thing Colleen has
learned is that we cannot bear the suffering alone. We need lots of
help. To that end, Colleen shares a precious devotional gift with the
suffering soul: thirty-one days of wisdom, hope, and encouragement.
Drawing upon stories from past saints, rich truths from Scripture, and
habits that build joyful endurance, Colleen helps fellow sufferers to
embrace one day at a time, to trust and love Jesus more, and put
themselves In the Hands of a Fiercely Tender God.
