Suffering has a way of silencing us.

It asks questions we never planned to ask and exposes wounds we never expected to carry.

In IT IS ENOUGH! Finding Purpose in Suffering, Lawrence Bowman invites readers into a gentle, honest conversation about suffering-one that does not rush toward answers or attempt to soften the weight of grief. Drawing from personal experience and years of walking alongside others in their darkest seasons, this book meets suffering where it actually lives: in loneliness, betrayal, depression, loss, silence, and the aching moments when God feels far away.

Rather than offering quick solutions or empty encouragement, these pages gently explore how suffering reshapes us-not as punishment, but as an invitation from God who has not turned away. Through Scripture, reflection, and lived compassion, Lawrence shows that suffering is not wasted, that silence does not mean absence, and that pain does not get the final word.

This is not a book about escaping suffering.
It is about discovering that even here-especially here-God is near.

For anyone who has ever wondered if their pain still matters...
If hope can survive what they've endured...
If Christ is enough when everything else has been stripped away...
