Suffering With Dignity: The Pathway To Ultimate Shalom
This scholarly book is a holistically researched review of the negative and positive impact of human suffering. The author pulls from his multifaceted experiences as a health-care professional, chaplain, pastor, and lifelong disciple of Jesus of Nazareth, offering timely and very useful information that reveals to the reader the intrinsic complexity of our human nature and our response to suffering. Inspired by the inward and outward nobleness of family members, friends, coworkers, and patients that he served, all of whom displayed great courage and dignity during acute and long-termed crises, our author penned Suffering With Dignity as a living document of encouragement, strength, and hope for any person who will encounter life’s trials and tribulations.
As much as we pride ourselves in being in control, as well as expressing our individuality, this therapeutic book encourages the reader to reconsider that each of us control very little and that we essentially share more similarities than differences. The author regards suffering as one of life’s common denominators that every human-being will have to deal with, and holds that human sufferance is sandwiched between birth and death. While each of our births and deaths are predetermined events, the major goal of this book is to educate the reader, provide effective wisdom and practical knowledge, assist them in their healthy response to suffering throughout of life. The thesis of this work is drawn from the author’s Judeo-Christian worldview concerning the nature of sin and the spiritual laws associated with the curative measures by the Creator of every living soul. Dr. Thornton wrote this book to highlight perhaps of one of the most difficult spiritual disciplines: to learn how to suffer with dignity as a human being and a lifelong follower of Christ.
