131 pages ; 21 cm. This is a book for those who want to be the authors of their own lives, to put some sense into them and see some pattern in their existence. This is most difficult at the point when pain and suffering, frustration, injustice, cruelty and all other forms of evil not only plague them but seem to dominate the world at large. How to reconcile pain with providence, how, indeed, to see providence working through pain, is the lesson of a lifetime, the secret of Christian wisdom, and the gift of this book.
