Does God Give Us More Than We Can Bear

Does God Give Us More Than We Can Bear by Jerry Smith

About The Book:

The child of a raped housekeeper who was deaf, mute, and poor, Jerry Smith had trouble before he even started. Does God Give Us More Than We Can Bear takes readers through disappointments and failures as Jerry does his best to battle overwhelming odds with a deck seemingly stacked against him. Did God give Jerry more than he could bear? As an aging man, Jerry ponders this very question, he is diagnosed with an untreatable and terminal lung disease. With nowhere left to turn and a deadline with fate, God then reveals his plan for Jerry's life. Now, cured of his previously incurable disease but still suffering the damage caused, Jerry has been given new direction and shares with readers his struggles, stories, and wisdom. In these recollections, he reveals hope, a light for the darkest days, years, and even decades. Jerry's story is the perfect example of how God will use anything for good, even when it seems most unlikely. He now lives to share his story, the hope he has, and how the lessons he learned can change lives.

My Thoughts:

The story behind this book seems unreal. Not that much "crap" can happen to one person, in one lifetime. But it does. And, coming out the other side, the author is able to reflect and see the reasoning behind everything that has happened. I'm living in my "more than I can bear" moment and struggling with God's reasons for things in my life. I just hope that when I come out the other side of my struggle, I will feel as accepting and understanding as the author is with his life.
