Jonathan Morris, author of New York Times Bestseller, The Way of Serenity “Here is an unflinching examination of the Church’s brokenness ... along with practical advice and the promise of hope for the challenging path forward.

Marriages are broken. Tragedies of all kinds afflict us and the ones we love. Woundedness, it seems, is simply a fact of life. But we are not alone in our suffering. Despite our emotional, psychological and physical injuries, God has not abandoned us. God is not distant or aloof. On the contrary, through the ministry of Jesus, God enters our painful situations to bring healing and redemption. Balancing sound biblical exposition with sensitive pastoral care, Stephen Seamands examines the profound implications of Jesus' crucifixion for our healing and restoration. Because Jesus experienced abuse, shame and rejection, he understands the hurts we experience today. And his response to pain and suffering gives us hope that we too can experience forgiveness and new life. Filled with real-life stories of people s brokenness and healing, Wounds That Heal offers comfort for our wounded souls. Ultimately, we take heart that God not only understands our pain but has done something about it. Encounter here the promise that the wounds of Jesus are wounds that heal.

Download or read book A Crazy Holy Grace written by Frederick Buechner and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When pain is real, why is God silent? Frederick Buechner has grappled with the nature of pain, grief, and grace ever since his father committed suicide when Buechner was a young boy. He continued that search as a father when his daughter struggled with anorexia. In this essential collection of essays, including one never before published, Frederick Buechner finds that the God who might seem so silent is ever near. He writes about what it means to be a steward of our pain, and about this grace from God that seems arbitrary and yet draws us to his holiness and care. Finally he writes about the magic of memory and how it can close up the old wounds with the memories of past goodnesses and graces from God. Here now are the best of Buechner’s writings on pain and loss, covering such topics as the power of hidden secrets, loss of a dearly beloved, letting go, resurrection from the ruins, peace, and listening for the quiet voice of God. And he reveals that pain and sorrow can be a treasure—an amazing grace. Buechner says that loss will come to all of us, but he writes that we are not alone. Crazy and unreal as it may sometimes seem, God’s holy, healing grace is always present and available if we are still enough to receive it.

Download or read book A Healing Journey written by Ron P. Pagel and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psalm 19:14 "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer." I cannot heal anyone, none of us can. I am His obedient instrument, His servant, His hands & feet ... Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit in me is the Healer, the Great Physician. I am not a theologian, but I am a willing student of the Book. There is little I can offer; no words or wisdom or experience, technique or method, none of my own very limited knowledge, no natural gifts ... beyond my humble heart to try to love His children as He does; to see, feel and hear their pain enough to intercede on their behalf (See Matthew 5 - the Beatitudes). Christ Jesus called us to a life of holiness; any brokenness or unrepented sin is a barrier that the enemy will use to keep us from that life of holiness. Paul challenges us to be imitators of Christ through the Redemptive nature of Jesus. He calls us, the saints, His sons & daughters, heirs of Christ, to be the instrument of healing by His power, grace and mercy. This (our) generation needs an infusion of the Good News of Jesus Christ and a restoration ... and a Savior. Join me on this journey - to study His Word and seek His guidance as He calls His Church to wholeness. Blessings; Ron

Download or read book The Healing Path Study Guide written by Dan B. Allender and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 1999-02-16 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DON'T WASTE YOUR PAIN. None of us escapes the heartache and disappointments of life. To live is to hurt, and we all have the wounds to prove it. Regardless of how we've been hurt, we all face a common question: What should we do with our pain? Should we stoically ignore it? Should we just "get over it?" Should we let it "make us stronger?" Should we optimistically hope that everything will work out in the end? If we fail to respond appropriately to the wounds that life and relationships inflict, our pain will be wasted; it will numb us or destroy us. But suffering doesn't have to mangle our hearts and rob us of the joy of life. It can, instead, lead us to life-if we know the path to healing. Healing is not the resolution of our past; it is the use of our past to draw us into deeper relationship with God and his purposes for our lives. We don't have to be held captive by the hurts of our past. We can move from feelings of powerlessness, betrayal, and ambivalence into faith, hope and love. The Healing Path takes us beyond self-discovery to God-discovery, giving us the tools to excavate the riches that lay beneath the surface of our pain. If you're ready to use the experiences of the past and present to shape a future characterized by love, service, and joy, now is the time to step out onto The Healing Path.
