Spiritual Grief

We are all touched at some point by the dark emotions of grief, fear, or despair. In an age of global threat, these emotions have become widespread and overwhelming. While conventional wisdom warns us of the harmful effects of "negative" emotions, this revolutionary book offers a more hopeful view: there is a redemptive power in our worst feelings. Seasoned psychotherapist Miriam Greenspan argues that it's the avoidance and denial of the dark emotions that results in the escalating psychological disorders of our time.

The Hurt Is Real… The hurts of spiritual trauma and abuse are real. They didn’t start with your church, but they do exist there. Why? Because people sin. And at its basic level, spiritual abuse is just one kind of sin. There is nothing particularly complicated about it—spiritual trauma is the mental and emotional harm that comes from having damaging or abusive interactions with other Christians. Any tight-knit church fellowship, regardless of its denominational affiliation, will naturally supply the preconditions necessary for spiritual hurts to occur. But what if you could heal from ...

Grief. No matter how strong we are, no one is truly prepared for it. When we least expect it, grief rips the floor out from under us.

Ancient cultures and tribes from around the world have found comfort in the unimaginable, peace in the chaos, and ...

Death transforms not just the patient and family, but the hospice nurse as well. The stories in this book are presented with the hope that their transformation extends to you, too. Heidi Barr, R.N.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall knows his patients well. When they are dying, he sits at the bedside with them and holds their hands. He prays with them. Sometimes he can feel what they feel and see what they see. At other times his patients have near-death experiences and "come back" with astonishing descriptions of the afterlife.

At some point, the trials of life will bring us to a place of believing that we're at "The End." It is in our pain and desperation that we call out to a God who seems so distant.

You will discover that its message goes much deeper than what appears on the surface . . . and so does your life. You will find that when you come to "The End," it is really just the "Beginning," when...

For years, Christians have been asking, "If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?" It turns out that many believers have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian's future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright asserts that Christianity's most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection, and provides a magisterial defense for a literal resurrection of Jesus. Wright then explores our expectation of "new heavens and a new earth".

This revolutionary book about our future is based on the simple idea that, according to the Bible, heaven is not our eternal home - the New Earth is. As Jesus says in the Gospel of Matthew, the next chapter of our story begins with "the renewal of all things", by which he means the Earth we love in all its beauty, our own selves, and the things that make for a rich life: music, art, food, laughter, and all that we hold dear. Everything shall be renewed "when the world is made new".
