The Promise - God's Purpose and Plan for When Life Hurts

Father Jonathan Morris has traveled to the most troubled parts of the world. He has met with Muslim youth during riots in Paris, sat down with populists who opposed the Church in Venezuela, and investigated human trafficking in Germany. Now Father Jonathan examines the questions that inevitably arise in response to human suffering. With calm pastoral guidance, he leads readers through each step of the process of suffering-from doubt and anger to healing and acceptance. The Promise helps readers transform what would otherwise be useless suffering into a means of healing and personal fulfillment. Father Jonathan cuts through the philosophical and theological jargon to provide not only a spiritual but also a practical answer to the most fundamental of human questions: why do we suffer? Father Jonathan Morris was ordained a Roman Catholic priest on December 24, 2002 in Rome, Italy. He has served as a religious news analyst and commentator for several channels including CNN, Sky News, and BBC. He also served as a theological advisor to Mel Gibson during the making of ''The Passion of the Christ.'' He serves as a regular news contributor for the Fox News Channel, where he provides ethical and moral commentary for news reports. Father Morris resides in Rome. ''With true compassion Father Jonathan Morris tackles a reality we will all confront sooner or later: suffering, and its place in our lives. His specific advice shows all of us how to turn tragedy and pain into spiritual gifts that can actually heal us in unexpected ways. Here''s a Promise worth keeping, and sharing with others.'' - Raymond Arroyo, author of the New York Times bestseller Mother Angelica
