Reason for the Season: Ministerial Reflections on Personal Grief, Suffering and Loss
Logos Editions are fully connected to your library and Bible study tools.
Overview
Compiling contributions from a variety of Baptist pastors as well as two physicians, this volume provide practical and biblical insights into dealing with pain and suffering. Contributors offer examples from their own lives as well as thoughtful theological reflections on topics from “God’s Enabling Grace in the Path of Suffering” to “Cancer and Pastoral Care” to “Hope That Helps When Life Hurts.”
In the early days of my pastoral ministry, I began to learn that there is a hurt in every heart and in every home. While the contributors to this book present many reminders of this tearful reality, they also testify that the grace of God is sufficient to sustain the followers of Jesus in a fallen, broken world.
Dr. Donald S. Whitney, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky
The contributors to this fine volume address the problem of pain and suffering not only with powerful insights from their own personal experiences, but also with clarifying pastoral and theological reflection. When people experience hurt and suffering, when they face the confusion associated with many of life's challenges, they want and need practical as well as scriptural guidance. Such guidance can be found throughout the various chapters in this volume. I am confident that the biblical encouragement found in these pages will be helpful for many.
