There is a good kind of sad--a tragic but somehow redemptive sad.Those are the sad books that I like to read.
For example, the memoir, Falling into His Grace, by Rebecca Petrie is a desperately sad story except for one thing: Petrie isn't sad.
One ordinary day, after a women's Bible Study in her home, Rebecca trips down the stairs and finds her life forever changed. This beautiful, healthy, active missionary is suddenly paralyzed from the neck down and sentenced to a life of constant pain and discomfort. But through this seeming tragedy, Rebecca discovers hope and grace and love like never before.
In Falling into His Grace Rebecca Petrie shares her incredible story. She wrestles with hard questions, and comes out clinging fiercely to Jesus. I was deeply blessed by this sad, sad story.
