In this paradigm-shifting book, Nancy Guthrie gently invites readers to lean in along with her to hear Jesus speak understanding and insight into the lingering questions we all have about the hurts of life-what was God's involvement in this, and why did he let it happen? Why hasn't God answered my prayers for a miracle? Can I expect God to protect me? Does God even care?

According to Nancy, this questioning is not a bad thing at all, but instead, an opportunity. It's a chance to hear with fresh ears the truth in the promises of the gospel we may have misapplied, and in the purposes of God we may have misunderstood.

In Hearing Jesus Speak Into Your Sorrow, Nancy shines a light on eleven statements Jesus made, mining them for meaning for those who hurt. "Honestly, I've chosen many of these statements because they are the ones that have been most challenging for me to understand and apply to my own experiences," Nancy writes. "They are the ones that have caused me to say, ‘I just don't get it' as I read them and tried to fit them into my established understanding of the nature and purpose of the ministry of Jesus. Over and over I find that the passages of Scripture that on the surface seem indiscernible to me hold some of the richest truths-life-changing, perspective-shaping, hope-giving truths."

Nancy writes books that reflect her compassion for hurting people and her passion for applying God's Word to real life. Her desire to grow in her understanding of God's Word has prompted her to begin working toward obtaining a Masters in Theological Studies degree from Covenant Theological Seminary. She speaks regularly at women's retreats and evangelistic events nationally and internationally.
