May 1999 For nearly 50 years, Dr. Robert H. Schuller has made his life's calling to comfort and encourage people in pain. As a pastor, motivator, and author, he is appreciated by countless millions worldwide for his ability to encourage and inspire. Turning Hurts into Halos and Scars into Stars is Robert Schuller like you've never heard him before. Though it echoes the extraordinary insight and encouragement you have come to count on from Dr. Schuller, never before has he written a book so personal, so moving. This book is about adversity. Tragedy. Suffering. Despair. But it's also about hope, joy, and eternal victory in Jesus. This book is about the Cross. In Turning Hurts into Halos and Scars into Stars, Schuller confronts his own painful experiences, including the motorcycle accident that critically injured his daughter and resulted in the amputation of her leg; his own hurtful trial before his denomination's court of church law, which resulted in an acquittal; his wife's heart attack and six bypasses, and his own brain surgeries. Dr. Schuller also shares the suffering, injustice, and indignity he felt when he was wrongfully accused of assaulting a flight attendant in 1998, questioned for hours by FBI agents, taken to court in handcuffs, and later sued in a civil case. But through it all, he had peace -- "deeper, purer than anything I ever experienced in my life. There was no anguish! No anger! No fear! No shame! No worry! I can only say I found myself absorbed by a 'holy peace.'" Discussing these painful events, and many more from his life and from the lives of others, Dr. Schuller provides positive examples of how you can make it through tough times, emerge victorious, and help those around you who are hurting. Turning Hurts into Halos and Scars into Stars is a serious book about how to deal with life's adversities, written by a man who has not only experienced his own personal tragedies but has spent nearly five decades pastoring to hurting hearts. His latest powerful book will lead you to the foot of the Cross, where Jesus' suffering was turned into salvation, where His crown of thorns was turned into a crown of glory, and where your own tragedies will be turned into triumphs.
