We live in a culture of mistrust, hate, fear, division and violence. Our country, our government is in chaos. Life as we very recently knew it has changed. The world is currently in distress over the Covid-19 virus pandemic. Masses are ill, loved ones have died, and health care systems are overwhelmed. We are forced to adjust to social distancing, limiting time in public and wearing personal protective equipment. It is threatening our economy and our way of life. No one is left untouched by this crisis.
Suffering is one thing that affects every person who has drawn a breath. It is inexorable. No one escapes its clutches. It can be debilitating. It can be heart wrenching. It is an absolute, inevitable crucible of life. Suffering can take us to places we never intend to go and leave us unequivocally subjugated. As a result, many people seek relief by self-medicating with alcohol, drugs and other harmful alternatives. When the effects of these anesthetizing agents no longer offer respite, suicide and causing harm to others is sometimes a result. Many times, we are left feeling hopeless and helpless. How do we acclimate to such uncertainty?
There is an end to all ends! Might I introduce you to a radically significant alternative regarding the life altering effects of suffering? The Bible teaches that God is love and suffering is a reality. If this is true, then how are we to reconcile God’s love with suffering? God is the Creator of all that exists. It is his world to govern and whether or not we see the evidence, he maintains complete control. When prayers and questions go unanswered, we can trust God’s wisdom. It is in and through suffering that God accomplishes his ultimate purpose: his glory, our transformation into the likeness of Christ, and the perpetuation of the Kingdom. God is the God who sees. Nothing escapes his notice. Nothing takes him by surprise. In the throes of suffering, we can trust in the omnipotence of a holy, just and loving God. Bad choices, difficult circumstances, and evil committed against us cannot thwart God’s plan for our lives. God uses everything for our ultimate good and his glory.
The Book of Ruth gives significant insight into the realm of women and suffering. In "The Upside of Suffering" discover how our lives parallel on several levels to those of Ruth and Naomi. As we discern God’s sovereignty in their suffering, we can be encouraged to trust God’s sovereignty in ours. When we are willing to surrender our suffering to God, we will discover his holiness, goodness, and grace in the midst of the darkest of times.
Naomi is the Bible’s female alternative to Job, the biblical heavy weight champion of suffering. Her abject suffering spiraled her into an abyss where she became convinced God had abandoned her and she no longer had purpose. Ruth, the heroine, committed her life to Naomi’s care. Ruth’s sacrifice brought Naomi full circle in discovering God’s ultimate purpose for her life. By their example, all women can find hope and purpose in suffering.
A sever famine in Bethlehem forced Naomi’s family to relocate to a pagan nation where they could find food and wait out the famine. Soon after, her husband died leaving her the single parent of two sons. The two sons married foreign wives who proved to be barren. Ten years later, both sons died. In that culture, the life of a widow with no sons was difficult-to say the least. Life as Naomi had known it was over.

Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
