Living With Thorns — A Biblical Survival Guide

by Mary Ann Froehlich

Do you struggle with pain in your life? It could be anything—a physical condition, fearful circumstances, a great sorrow, financial hardship. What matters is, it hurts. And no matter how earnestly you've asked God to remove the pain, it remains. Living with Thorns is written for you. Mary Ann Froehlich understands your struggles because of the heartaches she herself has endured. She has also seen how miracles occur even when outward circumstances remain unchanged.

With honesty and sensitivity, the author of An Early Journey Home takes you inside God's Word to find comfort, encouragement, and a deeply rooted faith that can withstand prolonged adversity. Better still, Froehlich gives you tangible survival tools for dealing with unchanging conditions and fighting the despair that so often accompanies ongoing pain.

What Others Are Saying

Average Rating

Living with Thorns by Mary Ann Froehlich is a well-written book on surviving with pain. She refers to the thorn that Paul mentions in his letters and uses that reference as a scriptural basis for dealing with the pain. The first half of the book is about letting us know we are not alone in our pain. In the second half of the book, the author shares her survival techniques for dealing with pain, and living with our own thorns. Each chapter concludes with questions for thought as to how we can apply the information to our own lives. Mary Ann reminds us that God uses our pain for His purposes though we may have no understanding of what those may be. I like that she recognizes our pain and does not dismiss it, though she goes on to give us ways to cope when we are experiencing out pain. Throughout the book, she includes quotes from many well know writers and speakers in the religious arena. Her survival tools are all biblically based and she give many scriptural references along the way. I found the book to be very comforting and plan to keep it as a scriptural reference on these issues in the future. I was provided a free copy of this book from Discovery House Publishers for review. I was not obligated to provide a positive review. The thoughts and opinions expressed are my own without bias expressed.
