Sometimes pain passes quickly and small losses are easily absorbed But suffering often goes on and on, and for people of faith, the resulting crisis can be deeper and more destructive than the loss itself. We look for ways to comfort those who are hurting. But sometimes, in spite of our good intentions, the clichés and simplistic theology we offer only add to the pain and misery.

In When Suffering Persists Frederick W. Schmidt presents a pastoral exploration of ways to understand suffering theologically, offering an approach that ministers to both mind and spirit. He questions the value of our usual comforting words and examines the pat explanations we give one another. He provides instead a theology that takes seriously the devastating character of suffering, allowing for real help to those who continue in pain. Excellent for parish study..

From the supplier: Vocational education schools continue to suffer an image problem as the repository for individuals who either drop out of college or have low IQs. A survey reveals, however, that people generally believe that adults in need of job skills can benefit the most from vocational training followed only by the learning impaired and the non-college educated. Furthermore, a considerable percentage believes that vocational education provides the necessary skills required for jobs that pay well and may even motivate students to go to college.
