This book is gospel centered and hope-filled. Page after page, the author directs our focus to Christ and his work for us. We all face suffering in this fallen world, but we are not without hope. In Laughing at the Days to Come, readers are equipped to face their own stories of suffering with joy because of our present and future hope in Christ. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Tessa Thompson was fifteen years old when she was diagnosed with a rare neurological disease that took away her hearing and would eventually cause chronic pain and other health complications. Faced with a future of uncertainty, she encountered Proverbs: 31:25: \"Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.\" The godly woman of Proverbs 31 had something Tessa lacked- a vision for life that allowed her to laugh at the future. Tessa recognized she needed this laughter in order to endure lifelong suffering in a way that honored God. In this warmly personal account, Tessa insightfully considers what she calls the Christian's \"peculiar perspective on suffering\" and shows you how the hope of God's Word will enable you to laugh at the days to come even in the midst of tears and suffering. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e Table of Contents: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e PART 1 - Laughter: Its Definition \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1 - Her Trial: He Gives and Takes Away\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2 - Her Vision: A Woman Who Laughs\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3 - Her Reality: Living in a Vale of Tears\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4 - Her Dilemma: A Peculiar Perspective on Suffering\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e PART 2 - Laughter: Its Doctrine \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5 - Her Necessity: A Sober-Minded Suffering\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6 - Her Comfort: God's Fatherly Sovereignty\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7 - Her Guide: Christ's Perfect Example\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8 - Her Guarantee: The Spirit's Enduring Preservation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e PART 3 - Laughter: Its Doing \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9 - Her Prayers: The Humble Expectation of a Daughter\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10 - Her Practice: The Selfless Love of a Sister\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 11 - Her Prospect: The Heavenly Aim of a Pilgrim\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Foreword\/Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e PART 1 \"¬‚¬\" Laughter: Its Definition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 1 Her Trial: He Gives and Takes Away\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 2 Her Vision: A Woman Who Laughs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 3 Her Reality: Living in a Vale of Tears\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 4 Her Dilemma: A Peculiar Perspective on Suffering\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e PART 2 \"¬‚¬\" Laughter: Its Doctrine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 5 Her Necessity: A Sober-Minded Suffering\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 6 Her Comfort: God's Fatherly Sovereignty\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 7 Her Guide: Christ's Perfect Example\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 8 Her Guarantee: The Spirit's Enduring Preservation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e PART 3 \"¬‚¬\" Laughter: Its Doing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 9 Her Prayers: The Humble Expectation of a Daughter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 10 Her Practice: The Selfless Love of a Sister\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 11 Her Prospect: The Heavenly Aim of a Pilgrim\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Conclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTessa Thompson lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan with her husband, Nick, and enjoys being a stay-at-home mom to their two boys.
