  Title: THE BEAUTY OF TRIBULATION Author: J.A. Cox Publication Date: August 28, 2020 Pages: 98 Genre: Christian Nonfiction The Beauty of Tribulation was written to provide answers based upon scripture to help us understand things such as: The purpose of tribulation in the life of a believer. Reasons why it is necessary. How God uses it for our edification and his glory. How God is not the author of our tribulation. At the root of it, the greatest purpose is to depict the beauty of our painful, frustrating, and most hopeless moments when we allow God to complete the work he is trying to accomplish through them.
