An Israeli soldier’s life flashes before his eyes in this epic tale: “As if The Odyssey had been updated and rewritten by Dylan Thomas” (The Listener, UK). In 1947, Marshall Pearl is orphaned at birth aboard an immigrant ship off the coast of Palestine. Brought to America, he grows up a child of the Hudson Valley, determined to see the world in all its beauty and ferocity. His epic journey takes him from Jamaica to Harvard; from Great Plains slaughterhouses to the Mexican desert; and from the sea to the Alps. Marshall is eventually drawn to Israel to confront the circumstance of his birth in a crucible of war, magic, suffering, and grace. We first meet Marshall among the mortally wounded Israeli soldiers who are being transferred to Haifa during the Yom Kippur War. From there we follow Marshall—along with his memories and dreams—as he reconstructs his life, galvanizing strength through all that he has learned, suffered, and hoped. “Superb...A first-rate odyssey, full of insight and humor and hard-earned truths”—San Francisco Chronicle

Author Gavin Anthony lost his job, his health, his reputation, his girlfriend, and his dreams for the future. It was there---in the midst of the dark, lonely unknown---that he learned the truth about human brokenness and God's restorative ways. In The Refiner's Fire Anthony shares the inspiring, life-transforming lessons he has discovered about suffering. He explores biblical truths that will forever change how you look at the hard times in life: --God is still good, even when we hurt. --God uses suffering to make us more like Him. --Even---and especially---when life is tough, God is working out His plan. --We are not alone in our pain. The Refiner's Fire moves beyond cliche answers about suffering and offers a comforting, hope-filled perspective on God's purpose in pain. This book is an Adult Sabbath School companion book.
