Here is a link to the epilogue, which details my own journey with suffering.

A Soul Prepared through Suffering draws souls to a greater simplicity of spirit often associated with St. Thérèse, the Little Flower, and St. Jean Marie Vianney. This book is for those in the trenches of suffering and for those yet to be put to the test, for it prepares people to understand that suffering shared by a loving God works in ways nothing else can. As God is the director of each of our stories, you may see yourself reflected in this book and find it helps each time you go through it in a different way. Put in the time for this 40-Day journey, and you will find you are different on the other side.
