Publisher's summary

In Laughing at the Days to Come, Tessa Thompson shares a poignant story of physical suffering and her journey to not only understand God's hand at work in it, but to face the future with laughter. This book is gospel centered and hope-filled. Chapter after chapter, 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, listeners are equipped to face their own stories of suffering with joy because of our present and future hope in Christ. 

Tessa Thompson was 15 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. 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.

So Slow , Somewhat Of a Short Story

I was disappointed that Tessa was not the Narrator,
It was too long, and slo.
Maybe, I would share with a friend to get their opinion

Was This Read By Siri?

I couldn't finish this book just bc the narrator was so abysmal. It literally sounded like a robot was reading the book.
