About this audiobook
Vaneetha Rendall Risner begged God for grace that would deliver her. But God offered something better: his sustaining grace.
In The Scars That Have Shaped Me, Vaneetha does more than share her stories of pain; she invites other sufferers to taste with her the goodness of a sovereign God who will carry us in our darkest of days.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing perspective on reconciling God's love and suffering. Powerful and moving. Thank you.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This book is sure to make you more depressed than you were before reading it. Basically she says it is great to suffer and that she meets Jesus in her suffering. Unfortunately, people who are suffering struggle exactly because they dont feel like her, so this book, true or only wishful thinking, wont help anybody.
