Book Description
To everything, there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven; A time to be born, And a time to die. (Ecclesiastics 3:1-2) "Goodbye" is hard. I will never question that. But I will tell you, with my experience in this "goodbye" moment, I wouldn't have traded it for anything this world has to offer. It was painful, confusing, anger-provoking, and exhausting. Yet in the end, it was healing, peaceful, life-learning, and praise-filled. Yes, it was all the above! Life leads us down many paths that we have no choice but to travel. God is always our travel companion, whether we invite Him or not. In the hardest of times is when we can experience His gentleness the most, but we have to surrender it all to Him and go where He leads us. Whether your loved one is young or old and the time is short or long, it is still painful but inevitable. Facing mortality is scary for everyone. But what greater honor can one give to the life lost than to celebrate all that was gained through them by the grace of God? XXX

Goodbye Jesus
Author: Tim Sledge
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780999843505
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
Tim Sledge pulls back the curtain on Southern Baptist life as he chronicles nearly four decades of ministry in this highly personal, sometimes painful, and frequently provocative spiritual autobiography. Part memoir, part expos , part polemic-this is an account of failures as well as accomplishments-and very nearly a case study in how faith may begin, how it evolves, and how it can fall apart. Sledge traces the childhood origins of his sincere faith, his efforts at spiritual obedience, his theological education, his climb up the ladder in ministry, his insights into the challenges of growth-oriented leadership, and his pioneering work in faith-based recovery ministries that ultimately guided participants in 20,000 support groups across the U.S. A recurring theme in his story is coming to grips with the significance of being an adult child of an alcoholic. After a fall from grace and a growing awareness that faith no longer worked for him, his journey took a new direction that required examining alternatives to his former belief system including Deism, agnosticism, humanism, and atheism. Ultimately, he found new ways to live a positive, value-driven life and emerged as a new version of the same person he had always been, still interested in creating avenues for personal growth in the lives of others. Goodbye Jesus is a relatable and thoughtful read for those seeking to better understand the evangelical mindset, for Christians who are questioning their faith, for ministers trying to decide whether to stay or go, and for those who have left their faith and are dealing with its loss.

Farewell to God
Author: Charles Templeton
Publisher: McClelland & Stewart
ISBN: 1551994496
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
For more than twenty years, Charles Templeton was a major figure in the church in Canada and the United States. During the 1950s, he and Billy Graham were the two most successful exponents of mass evangelism in North America. Templeton spoke nightly to stadium crowds of up to thirty thousand people. However, increasing doubts about the validity of the Old Testament and the teachings of the Christian church finally brought about a crisis in his faith and in 1957 he resigned from the ministry. In Farewell to God, Templeton speaks out about his reasons for the abandonment of his faith. In straightforward language, Templeton deals with such subjects as the Creation fable, racial prejudice in the Bible, the identity of Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus’ alienation from his family, the second-class status of women in the church, the mystery of evil, the illusion that prayer works, why there is suffering and death, and the loss of faith in God. He concludes with a positive personal statement: “I Believe.”
