I highly recommend this to anyone who has suffered a loss or is dealing with a hurt. It is a book that I will keep on my shelf for reference. It gets a 5 star rating from me. I received a copy from NetGalley, but these are my honest words.
Just a great quick read from someone who has been through great hurt and helps you to see God working through it all. 10/10
I picked up Hope for the Hurting only 48 hours after receiving horrible news. I was in shock, still, and having a hard time focusing. Hope for the Hurting reads like a conversation with or sermon by Tony Evans. It was the perfect companion to my daily reading of the Bible, and it helped point me to the truth.
Because it was so conversational, I had an easy time understanding and remembering the points. Dr. Evans has a particular talent in writing these very vivid images that still stay in my mind: God’s hands, the Holy Spirit as a comforter, the woman touching Jesus’s hem for healing, etc. When my ability to comprehend ideas and words was lost, this book broke through that fog. I think it helped that Dr. Evans speaks from his own deep grief, having recently lost seven close family members- including his wife. His testimony about relying on God rings very true.
I may be purchasing a few copies of the book to share with others who are hurting. We have such a great hope in God. Thank you for reminding us of that, Dr. Evans..

Tony Evans presents an essential guide after his own two-year period of deep grief and multiple losses. Evans uses heartfelt, brilliant word pictures and a Biblical focus, including Paul's 2nd Corinthians passages referencing his personal suffering. This is a must-read full of valuable insight and help.
I received a copy of the book without obligation. This review is my opinion.
A must read for those going through difficult times.
Life has its share of difficulties and Tony Evans certainly speaks from experience in this area. In a period of less than two years, he endured the loss of seven family members, including his beloved wife, Lois. On top of that both of his daughters faced serious health issues.
Out of his own pain Tony provides readers with various spiritual principles to help them persevere through their own pain and difficult circumstances. Speaking from his own personal experience, he provides sound, biblically based guidance to provide hope for the hurting. Readers will find renewed hope through God’s goodness, grace, the Holy Spirit (the Comforter), humility, and spiritual rest, just to name a few.
This book will undoubtedly be a blessing to many in today’s troubled world and one I plan to share.
