Download or read book Through Pain to Victory written by Gerhard Venter and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-04-16 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You have been diagnosed with a condition that involves chronic pain. What now? Why did God let this happen to you? How will you cope? What do you do when a flare-up takes hold of you? How do you build a new future?In this book, Gerhard helps you understand the practical and theological implications of being diagnosed with a condition that includes chronic pain. In the final chapter, he discusses the letters of the apostle Paul and other inspiring writings on victory over suffering, and ends the book on the soaring song of victory by Paul in Romans 8:38-39: " . . . neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."Some comments:"A rare find! In this searingly honest theological and existential tour-de-force, Venter reveals that conquering chronic pain is not about winning a war; it's about accepting grace right smack in the middle of the worst life can hand a person. Anyone who has endured an acute physical injury or a life-changing medical diagnosis should read this book. You won't find a better companion to take along the journey than Venter, who, page after page, faithfully and with abundant good humor, reminds us that grace still abounds." — Stacia Brown, Ph.D., novelist and author of "Accidents of Providence.""With this bold contribution to the genre of disabilities theology, Gerhard Venter through sensitive readings of scripture, especially the Psalms, forges new interpretive paths for those who suffer from chronic pain. Deftly avoiding Pollyannaish formulae, Venter argues courageously for the capacity to discern, in the midst of suffering, the gifts of the day. This book is important reading for those who would live into life, rather than surrender to its compromises." — David S. Pacini, Professor of Historical Theology, Candler School of Theology at Emory University."Having spent 41 years as a nurse in various areas of medicine I have seen my share of pain of all types. I also suffer from chronic back pain caused by degenerative disc disease resulting in a lumbar area herniated disc. Gerhard's book was a great source of comfort and encouragement while I was recently in the hospital having a left hip replacement revision, then a month long stay at a rehabilitation facility for Physical Therapy." — Patricia K., nurse, friend and fellow sufferer.

Download or read book Suffering Wisely and Well written by Eric Ortlund and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2022-02-07 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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
Download or read book Victory Through Surrender written by E. Stanley Jones and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of the best books that I have ever read. E. Stanley Jones was a great man who walked with God. His wisdom developed over a lifetime is distilled here. The only path to victory - joy, peace, and purpose in life - is by surrendering one's life to God and spending the rest of one's life surrendering over and over again until it becomes a habit. It is a process, one that takes time and self-discipline. But the result, as Jesus promised, is a life that is full and overflowing - not one without pain - but one of overcoming trial after trial by taking direction from the One who knows and loves us like no one else. The secret of how to do that is in this book. Harold G. Koenig, M.D. Director, Center for Spirituality, Theology and Health Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina

Book excerpt: Victory through Suffering talks about the ups and downs that believers face while traveling and navigating their daily lives, as well as teaching and leading others to Christ. During difficult times, one learns to reflect on oneself very deeply as well as how to go through rough times. Difficult times enable us to do God's will to love ourselves and others as well as to lean on his word to become stronger.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of us has experienced bad days, and these bad days are often compounded by our focus on the "badness" of the situation. But Dr. Jack Hayford contends that," in such times the Lord calls us to hear His voice." And so, beginning with seven phrases uttered by Jesus on the cross, he constructs the model for godly behavior while enduring hardship. Insights include: Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. To forgive those seeking to injure you is to remove yourself from their control. My God, my God, why have you forsaken Me? We can ask God the hard questions. Into Your hands I commit My spirit. Surrender your suffering to God and let go. How to Live Through a Bad Day is ideal for anyone who has experienced stress, pain, weariness, or an assault of character. Jack Hayford speaks the words of Jesus -- the words of life that sustain and encourage us to live through our worst days.

Download or read book Liquid Church written by Tim Lucas and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's fluid culture, many churches are adrift--longing to reach spiritually thirsty people, but failing to make an impact. Have you noticed? Congregations are stuck or declining. Millennials and Gen Z are walking away. Volunteers and their generosity are drying up. Is your city, town, or neighborhood spiritually dry? Do you long to see more of the living water of Jesus flowing freely through your community, generating a fresh wave of ministry momentum? Buckle up: you're in for a whitewater ride! Liquid Church tells the fascinating story of a New Jersey church that began "on accident" and grew into one of America's 100 Fastest-Growing Churches, with over 5,000 in weekly attendance and more than 2,400 baptisms to date. Their secret? They harnessed the power of six powerful ministry currents sweeping across North America including: special needs, creative communication, ministry mergers, compassionate cause, radical generosity, and leadership development. With powerful stories and scriptural insights, backed by national research, Tim Lucas and Warren Bird describe dozens of fresh ideas, new ministry wineskins, and hard-won leadership learnings that resonate with rising generations in today's "show-then-tell" culture. Each chapter includes practical tools, real-life examples, and links to "Other Churches Making Waves" with cutting-edge ministry ideas designed to help saturate your city for Christ. Ready to dive deeper? Whether you serve a brand-new church plant, fast-growing congregation, or an aging ministry ready for reinvention, Liquid Church is an inspiring and practical guide for leaders ready to reach their spiritually thirsty neighbors--those who have given up on church, but haven't given up on God.
