My journey on the subject of suffering began about 50 years ago with Elizabeth Elliott, C.S. Lewis and a host of biographies which, of course, let to lots of time with OT stories, the Psalms and Paul's writings. It has been an interesting journey.
I've read a couple of articles on the life of Pope John Paul ll, especially his time in Poland where they tried to kill him a few times and he missed their attempts in what would pass as a true miracle. He was an amazing leader in Poland and the Communist needed him out of their way so that they could do their agenda. Interesting life indeed.
Also, Habakkuk chapter three is interesting. How will we live if our Lord and King chooses for us to lose everything that sustains our lives? Will we really serve the King of Glory if he allows, much like Job, for us to experience serious or total loss? That in it's self is an interesting journey.
Also, Phil chapter 2 raises the idea of doing everything without grumbling, or fault finding, or grumbling, or questioning, or doubting (Amplified Bible). Interesting journey that was for a few months and then years.
It has been in interesting journey these past 50 years.

If you haven’t read John Paul II, you should. It will definitely be an addition worth having. And it’s short! 😊

Yes, but getting him out of Poland ultimately led to their downfall. If you haven't read JPII himself, you're really missing out. Highly recommend.
