Overview

In a highly-connected global village, the flow of worldviews from East to West (and vice versa) has great potential for good, but also some dangerous pitfalls. What are some of those potentials and pitfalls, and how do they relate to the way in which we respond to the suffering we experience? How do those in the millennial generation and the generations that follow--whether living in the East or the West--stay committed to God and others through their suffering? Endurance Experts begins the journey that explores the answers to these questions and more.

Praise for Endurance Experts

“This book explains the interrelationships between an eastern interpretation of suffering and the Christian interpretation, with its conviction that there is both purpose and meaning in the hardships of life. Best of all, this book shows that if we suffer well, we shall be amply rewarded. No matter how much you have read about suffering, this book will give you a fresh perspective on the problem of suffering that has plagued philosophers and theologians throughout the centuries. You will be blessed with both hope and courage during those dark times when our faith is tried.”

—Erwin W. Lutzer, Pastor Emeritus, Moody Church, Chicago

"Paul reminds us that suffering produces endurance which, in turn, produces character and then hope. Kenny Damara deftly examines suffering and endurance without losing his focus on Christ and the hope we have in him. Further, having lived in both India and the U.S., he’s able to explore the Eastern practices and beliefs that have permeated the West. Take your time as you read this book, and ask God to show you those areas in your own life where you might have fallen prey to the ignorance, escapism, or illusion he exposes."

— Karl ‘KJ’ Johnson, Director, C.S. Lewis Institute, Chicago
