This book is a synthesis of the current thinking on contemplation and spirituality and is not meant to be a “how to” guide on practices such as meditation. Rather, the author addresses the question “Why would a Christian who regularly attends church, or those currently not practicing their faith, integrate contemplative practices into their daily lives?”The term religion essentially means “realignment,” but what should be realigned in order to bring a new perspective into our lives? Does organized religion help to transform and thus realign parishioners into the people God wants them to be?The author suggests that churches today need to do more to bring about this transformation, and attempts to develop a logical argument for progressing beyond the religious experiences most of us grew up with. This progression should result in a more complete understanding of the Gospel message and illustrate how this message might apply in today’s ever-changing world.

Through the ups and downs, health and illness, and journeys to explore our world's cultures, Warren Malkoff found the true health and peace of the words in the Bible: whatever is pure, admirable and true, set your mind on these things. May the journey between these covers bring you to true peace.

What do you do when pain and brokenness force their way into life? What about when life deals you a blow that you're not sure you can recover from? Should you try to avoid the pain, move through it as quickly as possible, or numb it until it passes? Could there be any value in suffering? How you handle pain and how you allow others to experience their pain reveals what you believe to be true about yourself, others, and God. What do you do when life inscribes words on your heart that you wish weren't there? Words like shame, fear, hopelessness and bitterness. My adoptive mother would tell me, "I got you out of the gutter, and I can put you back there." She was right. I did start out and travel through some very dark places in my life, but I did not remain there. I have God to thank for that! Not the God that fancy religious people told me about, but the God that I got to know for myself. This is the story of a life redeemed in so many beautiful ways!

Suffering is the privileged place of the encounter with the crucified Christ. It is the mysterious link that fuses the one who suffers with the suffering heart of Jesus on the cross.Suffering Makes You Beautiful is a reflection on the transformative power of human suffering when perceived through the lens of faith and grappled within dialogue with the Word of God. It springs forth from the author's faith journey through a life-altering experience of suffering. The book is offered as a theology of human suffering that informs and transforms all who are overshadowed by the darkness of difficulty. May it serve to enable the reader to see with the eyes of faith and to be rooted in the solid ground of Christian hope!
