Nina Mason Bergman

When you are suffering deeply, the last thing you want to hear is a trite answer or pious platitude. You hurt. You fell that God has deserted you. And you want simple words of comfort from someone who really understands. That’s how Nina Mason Bergman felt when she learned she has MS, a disease that severely disrupted her life and work. Comfort from the Cross is the story of Nina Bergman’s search for something that could honestly speak to her suffering body and aching heart. And it is the story of the infinite comfort, wisdom, and encouragement she discovered in the final words of Christ as He hung on the cross. Jesus, the ultimate sufferer, spoke the language of suffering. He understood. As Nina came back to those seven last words again and again, she found practical instructions for coping with her distress. At the foot of the cross she witnessed “a happening beyond telling.” And this she shares lovingly with you in Comfort from the Cross.
