J-Curve: Dying and Rising with Jesus in Everyday Life, Paperback/Paul E. Miller

Description "This book will revolutionize the way you look at your suffering." Joni Eareckson Tada, Founder, Joni and Friends Do we have the wrong map for the Christian life? Life's inconveniences, disappointments, and trials can leave us confused, cynical, and eventually bitter. But the apostle Paul traces out the path of dying and rising with Jesus--what Paul Miller calls the "J-Curve"--as the normal Christian life. The J-Curve maps the ups and downs of daily life onto the story of Jesus. It grounds our journeys not in some abstract idea but in union with Christ and his work of love. Understanding our lives in light of the J-Curve roots our hope, centers our love, and tethers our faith to Christ. About the Author Paul E.
