Obedience, Suffering, & Reward

Through powerful stories from Scripture and raw reflections from his own life, Neil shows how God uses our suffering to shape us, mature us, and prepare us for something far greater than we can imagine. This isn't a "feel-good" book. It's a real-talk, count-the-cost, and dig-deep kind of book that doesn't shy away from the reality of following Jesus. It's about trusting God when everything in you wants to quit, finding purpose in the pain, and holding onto the hope that God's promises are worth the wait. In this book you'll discover:

- The power of obeying when it doesn't make sense
- The redemptive beauty of God's plan in suffering
- Why suffering is an essential part of God's kingdom
- How the scars we bear become the reward of a life lived by faith

If you've ever wondered whether following Jesus is really worth it, Obedience, Suffering, & Reward will remind you that even when it's hard, the way of the cross is always the way to glory.

Neil Broere is a pastor at THE TABLE on California's Central Coast, where his heart is to see God build a house that He recognizes-a family among whom He can truly be Himself. Before their move to California in 2022, Neil, his wife Lindsey, and their four children spent six years as missionaries in Iraq, an experience that profoundly shaped their faith and view of what is possible to those who would dare to believe that God is exactly who He says He is. Though they never imagined leaving the mission field, God had other plans, and California became the unexpected home they never knew they needed. In addition to being a Bible teacher, Neil is a filmmaker with a passion for capturing the beauty of life in creative ways. He considers himself a surfer, however most waves are in little danger of being disturbed when Neil is in the water.
