'The Call to Joy and Pain' explores the connection between rejoicing and suffering, and shows how our distress draws us nearer to God and makes us more effective in ministry. Ajith Fernando expounds Paul's teaching in Colossians 1:24-29 about suffering for Christ, and draws on his own pastoral wisdom and cross-cultural experience, to demonstrate that pain can be a blessing, both to the individual Christian and to the churches.
This book will help Christians to embrace gladly a life of service and devotion to Christ, despite the suffering this entails.
