Matters Of Life And Death
$15.00

Plenty of books explore the emotions of coping with grief and a loved one’s death. But as psychologist Carol Wogrin has observed, there is little advice for those at a loss for words witnessing the process of dying. Matters of Life and Death discusses the importance of communicating with the terminally ill both through talking and nonverbal expression and offers suggestions for what to say to offer comfort, both emotional and physical.

Brimming with constructive advice for opening up, Matters of Life and Death helps allay the fears that often silence friends and relatives in the face of death. Helping readers manage their fears-the fear of saying the wrong thing, of upsetting others, of facing overwhelming feelings-this book is a beautiful prescription for conveying a heartfelt message when it matters the most.

From Grief To Glory
$18.73

If your loss seems unbearable… If you’re angry and hurt… If your world has turned upside down… If you’ve lost hope… …you’re not alone. Losing a loved one can hurt. The pain can last a lifetime. And for Christians, the loss of a loved one can be confusing. It can even cause you to lose faith. Even though we believe in eternal life with Christ, the space between heaven and earth can seem so vast. Francine LoIacono-Bouwense understands. In From Grief to Glory she shares about the tragic loss of her brother and sister, Vinnie and Jeanne. From the depths of her pain, and from her journey back into hope, Francine gives you inspiring words to help you live again-without forgetting about the one you lost. Unlike other books about grief and loss, From Grief to Glory includes the Word of God as an answer. Losing a loved one can leave you feeling abandoned by God. Francine felt that way too. But, it was God who rescued her. He can rescue you too.

Message Of Job
$21.18

The book of Job proves that bad things do happen to good people, and the timeless question it raises is, Why? How can we hold to the justice and goodness of God in the face of undeserved tragedy? What is more, this great Old Testament book shows how condescending and superficial the attempts to comfort someone who is suffering can be.

Drawing on his background as pastor, hospital chaplain, and seminary professor, Daniel Simundson combines theological and pastoral concerns throughout his thematic survey of the trend of thought in the book of Job. The result is a useful resource for caregivers, general readers, study groups, and biblical classes.

Beyond Silence And Denial
$38.00

In the past two decades, most of the literature on death and dying has been written from the perspective of psychology or New Age spirituality. This comparative silence on the part of Christian writers has meant that a renewed awareness of the “naturalness” of death has not brought with it a deepened appreciation of the place of death in biblical faith. Bregman re-connects these strands of thought by bringing a biblically informed mode of spiritual refection into conversation with the current literature on grieving, loss, and suffering.

When A Baby Dies
$9.99

“Is my baby with God now?” What does the Bible say to such a question? What hope does it offer parents grieving the loss of a precious child? The answers are merciful. However, the implications are not simple. Is God a Universalist? Is there salvation after death? What is the role of infant baptism? And what about the doctrine of depravity? If a baby is born into sin, then what? What happens to the unborn — to the miscarried and the aborted? For pastors looking for biblical grounds to offer comfort and assurance, and for parents seeking solace for their grief, When a Baby Dies offers insights that are rich in hope and grounded solidly in Scripture.

5 Cries Of Grief
$21.65

On August 12, 1986 twenty five year old David Strommen was struck and killed by a bolt of lightning. The tradedy sent his parent reeling with grief. Out of that grief came a journey toward healing; a journey that is chronicled in this extraordinry book. The Strommens encountered five cries of grief: The cry of pain from the awareness of their devastating loss; the cry of longing, from missing their son; the cry for supportive love, from the extreme sense of vulnerability they experienced; the cry for understanding, as they tried to attribute meaning to a meaningless loss; and the cry for significance, as they strove to see some good result from this tragedy. As they wrote accounts of their journey, they recognized that the grief of a father may differ significantly from that of a mother. Their stories, voiced in alternating chapters launch a journey that can provide strength, insight, and renewal for all who experience the heartbreak of a loved one’s death.

Additional Info
Joni Eareckson Tada is one of today’s great Christian women, and “A Step Further,” which grew out of her own pilgrimage as a disabled person, is one of the great Christian books of our time. Written in the simple, friendly, exuberant, down-to-earth style that is special to Joni, it is a tremendous tonic for Christians living in pain and frustration, and it unfolds some neglected aspects of the wisdom of God superbly. This is heart-to-heart writing at its best.

We have all waded through the verbal swamp of syrupy cliches as some sufferers overspiritualize their pain. We have also felt the hot breath of bitterness from those who refuse to accept and adjust to their disability. Joni represents neither extreme. In her book there is a beautiful balance between tough-minded reality and scripturally based theology.

Through her public example, Joni Eareckson Tada has done more to straighten out warped views of suffering than all of the theologians put together. Her life is a triumph of healing-a healing of the spirit, the most difficult kind. When she speaks about the problem of pain, we should all sit up and take notice.”

Suffering
$48.33

A valuable contribution to the literature of theology and ethics, combining in a fascinating way biblical, theological, pastoral, and socioethic themes…The study is of immense value because it identifies the modern idolatry that views suffering as absurd and devoid of meaning…The book is marvelous exercise in cultural self-analysis that is prelimanary to any meaningful exorcism and redirection.
