Book Description
Walking the painful path of divorce leaves us feeling isolated, despaired, and doubtful of any happiness and peace again. While the narratives shared in this book are theirs alone, there are great commonalities. Each is full of pain; but even in the valley of messy, broken, and death-filled relationships, there is relief, healing, and hope in every story. You will find hopeful reassurance in and through the raging storms and valleys of shattered relationships. No matter the wounds, Tim Scott reminds us there is a healing balm that sustains us if we will make the choice to turn to Christ in our brokenness. We have every reason to hope. --Terry W. Pollard, pastoral coach and mentor (Des Moines, Iowa) The weaving of the experience of different people of both genders and ages along with strong biblical reference and relevance creates an undeniable picture of the human condition. In reading this book, God will stretch your thinking and sensitize your heart to the heart of this painful reality. A must-read for anyone interested in representing the real Jesus to a broken world. --Pastor Ernest Mullins (Raleigh, North Carolina) As a pastor and child of divorce, I found Though I Walk through the Valley a heartfelt, gut-wrenching, and hopeful story of walking through the valley of divorce. This book is a great resource for those who find themselves in the heartbreaking situation of a broken dream and marriage. God's grace will walk with you every step of the way. --Pastor Gina Colburn, BreakPointe Community Church (Overland Park, Kansas) I believe that Though I Walk through the Valley will be a very helpful resource, both to those who have gone through a divorce or who are on the verge of going into one. Most of us in the church are unaware of the opportunity for ministry among those we know who are going through this valley. This book will be a great resource in helping the church understand the struggles of an individual going through a divorce. --Pastor Shawn DeOrnellis (Milton, Washington) Sharing many people's stories makes Though I Walk through the Valley very relatable. I believe God is going to use this book to minister to many. --Pastor Dan Menefee, Crossroads Wesleyan Church (Rapid City, South Dakota)

Book Description
The year 1973 marked a very low point in the life of Vance Havner, America¿s most quoted preacher. It was the year his beloved wife and companion of thirty-three years was struck down by a fatal and dreaded disease which distorted her lovely features and rendered her a helpless invalid. She departed this life to be forever with the Lord on September 2, 1973. Though I Walk Through the Valley is the chronicle of Vance Havner¿s passage through the darkest valley of his life, the record of how his faith in God triumphed in the crucible of suffering and bereavement. Don¿t expect these pages to be filled with time-worn clichés or pat answers. The book is written from the vantage point of one who has kept vigil alongside the hospital bed of his dying wife. People say things like, ¿I¿m so sorry you¿ve lost your wife.¿ Havner responds: ¿Lost is not the right word for Christians divided by death. You haven¿t lost anything when you know where it is!¿ People also say, ¿I know just how you feel,¿ to which Havner replies: ¿People often try to sympathize, but you have to go through this to know what it is like. You cannot share by imagination or observation. You have been there or you haven¿t.¿ ¿Now that she¿s gone, do the best you can.¿ Havner responds: ¿I want to do the best that Christ can do in me, exceedingly abundant above all I can ask or think.¿

Book Description
Yea though I Walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death had to be written. It is a heart-wrenching account of a womans road through her own personal anguish and back, one that could be written only by the person who experienced it. It describes how she lived through the death of her infant daughter, a fire that totally destroyed her home and its contents, the suicide of her 21-year-old son, the killing of her 25-year-old son, the subsequent trauma, called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that followed, and her return to stability. Such a listing doesnt capture Chriss journey. Though not a professional writer, she has allowed us to enter her world, with all of its twists and turns, moments of sadness and despair, and finally, the peace that comes from emerging on the other side. She has a guileless honesty that wont let you go. No doubt thousands of people have shared some of Chriss experiences few, if any, to her degreebut fewer still have her ability to capture that experience in a way that makes her experiences their own.

"Almost There" Walking through the Valley
Author: Jack Weitzel
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 164191906X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
Just a few moments before his death, my father looked straight ahead and with a calm voice said to me, 'Almost there!' It has been 20 years since his homeward journey and I have been haunted by those words. What was he seeing that we couldn't see? In my career as a surgeon and a witness for Christ, I have observed many deaths when the last moments were calm and unafraid. Four years as a hospice volunteer brought me even more intimate with those last moments. I think that the valley David wrote of could also represent moments of extreme circumstances in our lives when we are in the Shadow of death: an automobile accident with severe injuries, the sudden loss of a child or spouse, the loss of a career, a consuming fire, a devastating flood, the birth of a stillborn. Do you have the Good Shepherd to guide you through these times? We only have this moment, this breath. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Do you have the peace of God that surpasses all understanding? Are you ready to walk through the valleys of your life? Come with me as I walk through the valley of the hospice and witness the grace and comfort that only God can provide for us. Journey with me and meet my Lord. There will be stops along the way as we see how the world deals with the valley. I pray that this book might be a life changing experience for you as we journey to 'Almost there.'

Meditation
Author: Charles H. Spurgeon
Publisher: Felipe chavarro
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
To encourage God’s people, we present this issue of the Free Grace Broadcaster on Meditation. Meditation is essential for a healthy walk with Christ and growth in grace. Charles Spurgeon introduces this subject with a helpful overview of the importance, practice, and benefits of biblical meditation. Thomas Watson defines what it is. Thomas Manton is convinced meditation is a biblical duty, and he tells us why. What is the nature of meditation? Isaac Ambrose answers that and describes the time, place, and matter of that holy practice. William Bates beautifully instructs us in occasional meditation, focusing on God’s creation, and George Swinnock offers five descriptions of solemn and set meditation on sacred subjects. Are there real dangers in neglecting this holy act of deep thinking? Edmund Calamy lists twelve! And they are sobering. John Owen, a deeply spiritually-minded pastor and theologian, presents us with practical helps for meditating upon God, and then A. W. Pink meticulously shows us how to approach a biblical text so that we can chew the Bread of Life. Are you new to meditation and wonder what to meditate about? In a second article, Thomas Watson gives a beautiful panorama of biblical themes to fix our hearts on, starting with God in eternity, progressing to Christ in history, and extending to heaven and hell. Then, Jonathan Edwards urges us to show our love to Christ; he does so by giving us a wonderful description of His loveliness. Spurgeon, a great advocate and practitioner of meditation, closes this issue by instructing us with sweet meditations of Jesus Christ our Lord. And how precious they are! Be forewarned: meditation is hard in our too-busy, distracted world; but this FGB is a brief “how-to” that we pray will fan the flames of your heart to seek the glory of Christ in Scripture and to love Him as never before.
