Responding to Suffering (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Suffering comes in many forms and is an inevitable part of life. But how do we face it? It raises many deep questions about life and what we might find within ourselves. It leaves us confused, looking for something to hold on to. In the midst of suffering, we need comfort and reassurance. When the questions overwhelm us, where can we find answers? We need a point of reference, an anchor that holds us safely to shore. This book explores the complexities of our questions about suffering with the understanding and compassion of personal experience. It provides concrete and practical answers in a meaningful way that we can all relate to.

If you want to help others respond to suffering in a way that glorifies God, this book is for you. Dr. Cozzi's case study on the apostle Paul struck a powerful chord with me when he writes about the three triads of Paul's suffering. In Christ, Paul "had found ample reason to rejoice" in spite of his suffering. I am recommending this book because it is saturated with a rock-solid biblical theology on suffering. Responding to Suffering by Dr. Luciano Cozzi will be on my list of endorsed readings for my students.

For anyone seeking a thoroughly biblically and truly hopeful word from a fellow traveler who knows adversity and sufferings, I could not recommend more highly Luciano Cozzi's book, Responding to Suffering. Well informed, avoiding sentimentality and easy answers, Dr. Cozzi shares with us a comprehensive and Christ-centered perspective on our Lord God's good purpose to compassionately lead us all through those deep valleys of sorrow and sufferings that confront us in this fallen world.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Luciano Cozzi is not a stranger nor a novice to the topic of this book. As he was writing it, struggling with problems in his visual cortex, he was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of brain cancer. After a delicate brain surgery to remove most of the tumor, he continues relentlessly to serve the Lord in his ministry, helping others in their Christian walk. His passion for the Lord's ministry and for teaching continues to drive him even through his radiation and chemotherapy, as he perseveres in helping Christians resolve their life problems and come to a deeper and more personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Dr. Cozzi was born and grew up in the district of Siena, Italy. In 1980 he moved to the US to attend a Bible college in California, where he studied theology. Two years later he married Suzanne, and just after graduation, in 1984, they had their first son, Daniel. Their daughter Elisabeth was born two years later, in 1986. Then, in 1988 Luciano and Suzanne were asked to return to Italy to serve in pastoral ministry. While in Italy, he had the opportunity to serve as Bible lecturer and main speaker in several evangelistic campaigns throughout the country, as well as in Malta. He also served as a church planter, pastor and counselor for about ten years.
In 1997, Dr. and Mrs. Cozzi returned to the US, where he dedicated himself to biblical counseling, preaching, and lecturing in various churches and organizations throughout Western New York. Then, in 2000 he was asked to take over a pastoral position in New England where he still serves as the senior pastor and director of counseling at Grace Family Church of Rhode Island. He is also the main speaker for the Word of Hope series, which is distributed in various countries around the world as well as on YouTube and Facebook. The series is also distributed through twelve podcast channels worldwide. A complete list of these channels can be found online at gfcri.org.
Dr. Cozzi has earned a B.A. in theology (with distinction), a M.A. in biblical counseling (with high distinction), and a Ph.D. also in biblical counseling (with high distinction). He has been awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity and a gold membership in the National Omicron-Psi Honor Society. In addition to his formal studies, Dr. Cozzi has received several certifications in mediation and conflict resolution, as well as in Critical Incident Stress Management. He is the author of numerous articles and several books, among which The Love of God in Biblical Counseling.
Besides continuing his pastoral duties, Dr. Cozzi also serves as a mentor and Training Center Director for the International Association of Biblical Counselors (IABC). He is passionate about teaching and training others to excel in this exciting ministry.
