Christian books on suffering tend to be either theoretical/intellectual or personal/experiential. They either add boredom to your pain or lather you up with empty platitudes. Not so this Traveler’s Guide by Dr. Karen Thomas Olsen. Karen dares to tell us that we can be changed by theology that feeds and leads. Imagine this, our lives can be changed if we take sound biblical doctrine to heart and live by it! Truth transforms!
I recently learned about Dr. Olsen’s book from a mutual friend (thanks Mary!). It turns out Karen and I both spent time at Grace Theological Seminary years ago, but we were like the proverbial two ships in the night. I’m grateful for this opportunity to connect with Karen, and for a copy of her book.
