Book Description
Grief touches all of our lives, but it does not have to paralyze us with fear or inaction. God allows suffering because He knows how powerful it can be to our spiritual lives and to helping us fully embrace His love and mercy. In this insightful and practical book, you’ll learn how to live a life of redemptive suffering that will draw you through grief into a state of tenacity, meaning, holiness, and joy. Author Jeannie Ewing is no stranger to suffering. Her family has long struggled with bipolar disorder and depression, and her baby daughter was born with a rare genetic disorder that caused her bones to prematurely fuse together. Despite the many layers of sadness, loss, confusion, and anger, Jeannie responded to God’s calling and transformed her life into one with profound purpose and joy. Combining her training in psychology and counseling with real-life examples, Jeannie will show you that there is much life to be lived in the midst of loss, and that all things – even the most painful life experiences – are working together for a greater good. You’ll also learn: The all-too-often misunderstood difference between grief and depression.The spiritual benefits to uniting your crosses with Jesus’s Passion and Death.The counterintuitive notion that grief and joy can coexist.The spiritual danger of internalizing our pain and hiding it from othersHow great saints like St. John of the Cross and St. Therese of Liseux struggled to make sense out of suffering.The six spiritual principles that will assist you on the journey of navigating grief.How to know when you should seek professional help.Ways in which God is calling you to bring hope and joy to those dwelling in darkness.How to confidently confront the nothingness and emptiness you feel in your interior life.And Meditations on the Stations of the Cross, the Sorrowful Mysteries, and the Seven Sorrows of Mary that will help you reflect on how redemptive suffering can help you embrace God’s love and mercy.

This book is birthed out of the greatest trial of my life. I lost my daddy, Robert Godwin Sr. in front of the entire world via Facebook Live on Resurrection Sunday April 17, 2017. From this unimaginable pain, I lost my faith in God, distanced myself from church (became a backslider), and I was very angry.

Pages : 124
Book Description
From Grief to Grace My Call to Prayer Janet Wright is a beloved daughter of the most high, a mother with a voice whom God has called and raised up as a prayer warrior, intercessor, motivational speaker and Kingdom builder. In her tell-all book, Janet takes her readers on her powerful journey to freedom, after experiencing both sexual and physical abuse at a tender age from those she trusted. She writes about rejection and the grief of losing her first son to gun culture and crime, and how she became accustomed to the trials, tribulations and effects of trauma in her life. However, despite great turbulence, armed with her faith in God and filled with His word, Janet was able to pray her way through from grief to grace. Through these pages, a gripping story of hope, restoration and the power of God is demonstrated. For Janet, her circumstances threw her into the hands of the Lord when she did not have the strength to stand on her own. As she sought God with all her heart, she was met and comforted with His loving-kindness, joy, peace, and unmerited favour, which is grace. She learnt to forgive herself and those around her and to trust God's will over her life. God has healed her, and as a firm believer, she has proven that prayer changes things; her life is a testimony of victory through the power of prayer. -These are my thoughts, my feelings... -This is my heart -This is the pain -This is the love -This is the heartbreak -This is the healing -This is my story

Grace Like Scarlett
Author: Adriel Booker
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493414119
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Though one in four pregnancies ends in loss, miscarriage is shrouded in such secrecy and stigma that the woman who experiences it often feels deeply isolated, unsure how to process her grief. Her body seems to have betrayed her. Her confidence in the goodness of God is rattled. Her loved ones don't know what to say. Her heart is broken. She may feel guilty, ashamed, angry, depressed, confused, or alone. With vulnerability and tenderness, Adriel Booker shares her own experience of three consecutive miscarriages, as well as the stories of others. She tackles complex questions about faith and suffering with sensitivity and clarity, inviting women to a place of grace, honesty, and hope in the redemptive purposes of God without offering religious clichés and pat answers. She also shares specific, practical resources, such as ways to help guide children through grief, suggestions for memorializing your baby, and advice on pregnancy after loss, as well as a special section for dads and loved ones.

Suffering Wisely and Well
Author: Eric Ortlund
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433576511
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Why Suffering Exists: God's Purpose for Pain in the Life of Job and throughout Scripture Why does God allow suffering? The pain of suffering can be overwhelmingly mysterious, but the Bible does provide answers. Throughout Scripture, God allows trials in order to accomplish specific purposes in the lives of his people. When faced with suffering they experience spiritual growth; repentance from sin; or, as in the Old Testament story of Job, the chance to demonstrate devotion to God in the face of inexplicable agony. In Suffering Wisely and Well, Eric Ortlund explores different types of trials throughout Scripture, revealing the spiritual purpose for each and reassuring readers with God's promise of restoration. The majority of the book focuses on Job, one of the most well-known yet misunderstood stories of suffering. Ortlund thoughtfully analyzes the text chapter by chapter, including the doubt of Job's friends, God's response to Job's questions, and the meaning behind important imagery including references to Leviathan and Behemoth. Suffering Wisely and Well shows readers how to deepen their relationship with God during painful experiences in their own lives and how to comfort others who are hurting. Explores Lament and Redemption in Scripture: Helps readers understand how to interpret suffering from a Christian perspective Applicable: Each chapter ends with a "What Have We Learned?" summary Biblical Advice on Grief and Support: Teaches Christians how to avoid blame or legalism when addressing the suffering of others
