This is the story of Christ’s nearness to my own suffering—my mental breakdown, my journey to the psych ward, my long, slow, painful recovery—and how Christ will use even our agony and despair to turn us into servants and guests of the mercy offered in his gospel. We cannot answer suffering. And yet suffering demands an answer. If Jesus is the answer to suffering, what kind of answer is Jesus? Everything that could be taken from a person was taken from him. The worst things a person could be made to see and feel were seen and felt by Christ. All of this came to a point in the nails driven into his hands and became a word that cannot be unspoken—his body broken and his blood poured out for us. Suffering has been made holy by Christ’s proximity to it.

______________

John Andrew Bryant is a caregiver, writer, and part-time street pastor in a small steel town outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he lives with his wife, Becca.

______________

‘Our lives are not tidy nor are our personal stories always a cheery ‘upward and onward’ narrative. Instead, we often face deep valleys with frightening darkness and endless unknowns. John A. Bryant’s book is not ‘tidy’ either, but because of his experience with and honesty about mental illness and trauma, we can learn from him; more importantly, because he points us to Christ crucified, we have more than a story, we have hope.’ Kelly M. Kapic, author of You’re Only Human and Embodied Hope

Great replacement heart for bear toy
Many years ago I bought a Heart to Heart Bear (1980s)--with a heartbeat. After several years the heart stopped working, but I kept the bear--thinking that some day I could fix it. Last Saturday I replaced the original heart with this heartbeat toy and now she works great! The heart is not too loud and the fact that I can start and end it without opening the bear is great. I am going to buy another one as back-up just in case this one stops working. Thank you.

Calming with a pulse
I bought these to transport puppies across the US. I put one in each carrier and the puppies slept on each plane ride. A total of over 5 hours on planes. Would totally recommend.

Have to manually turn off-no timer
Just okay. It works, but my other units are on a timer and turn off themselves. This doesn’t shut off unless I manually turn it off so the batteries don’t last.
