The Gift Of Suffering
From the Floor of the Truck to the Promised LandBy Rodney J PennerRecorded Track
Length3h 59m
About this audiobook
Rodney Penner spent decades running, from God, from grief, from himself. Through failed businesses, broken relationships, addiction, and loss, he kept moving, never stopping long enough to face what was chasing him.
This is the story of what happened when he finally did.
The Gift of Suffering traces one man's journey from the floor of a truck in rural Manitoba to a life rebuilt on faith, purpose, and the hard-won wisdom that only comes through the fire. It is not a self-help book. It is a confession, and an invitation to stop running.
