New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet Timothy Keller—whose books have sold millions of copies to both religious and secular readers—explores one of the most difficult questions we must answer in our lives: Why is there pain and suffering? Walking with God through Pain and Suffering is the definitive Christian book on why bad things happen and how we should respond to them. The question of why there is pain and suffering in the world has confounded every generation; yet there has not been a major book from a Christian perspective exploring why they exist for many years. The two classics in this area are When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Rabbi Harold S. Kushner, which was published more than thirty years ago, and C. S. Lewis’s The Problem of Pain, published more than seventy years ago. The great secular book on the subject, Elisabeth Ku¨bler-Ross’s On Death and Dying, was first published in 1969. It’s time for a new understanding and perspective, and who better to tackle this complex subject than Timothy Keller? As the pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, Timothy Keller is known for the unique insights he shares, and his series of books has guided countless readers in their spiritual journeys. Walking with God through Pain and Suffering will bring a much-needed, fresh viewpoint on this important issue.

Explaining how to become a Christian hedonist, a bestselling author offers guidance on how to find spiritual joy to readers who are unsure of where to seek it.

"I encourage anyone who wants to have a better grounding in the biblical, historical, and theological basis for believing in the continuation of the gifts-especially gift of healing-to make this a part of his or her library. This book is not milk; it is meat." —Randy Clark Jesus brought people into direct contact with the power and authority of God. Every healing and miracle revealed the glory of God and the reality of His kingdom. Jesus gave the disciples authority to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom, to heal the sick, and to deliver the oppressed. Receive Your Miracle Now presents a strong argument for the legitimacy of a Christian healing ministry in today's church. By studying key passages of Scripture in both the Old and New Testaments, examining the thread of healing throughout church history, and presenting a theological basis for healing and deliverance ministry, Bob Sawvelle demonstrates that through the healing gifts Jesus is still glorified, the sick are still healed, the oppressed are still freed, and God's kingdom advances in the earth, as it ever has.

Apostle Paul wrote: "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" (Phil. 4:4). Apostle Paul was greatly persecuted in the course of his ministry; and someone may not expect him to make such a statement. It is very important to God that His children rejoice always in Him. Think about it! The Lord, through Paul, stressed its importance by repeating it. The devil will want us to be stressed by different kinds of things, so that he can steal our joy away from us. Have you allowed the devil to steal your joy? How did you allow him to steal it? Is it through sin and indulgence? Is it through the pursuit of this world's cares? Is it through worries, doubt, depression, or sorrow? The remembrance that we have the host of Heaven on our side should keep us cheered up. God the Father is for us; Jesus Christ is with us; the Holy Spirit is in us and upon us; the Word of God is our defensive and offensive armour; and the angels of God minister for us. We should never allow anything to steal our joy from us.

Seven-year-old Jeff Hillman loved to skateboard, make mischief, and fish. But everything changed the day he contracted a mysterious illness called Reyes syndrome. In this insightful glimpse into the life of a young man who died and then returned to tell about itwho encountered angels and experienced dramatic healingyou can see that God is still a God of miracles. He not only sees us in our struggles; He meets us in them. Witness the power of faith as Jeff and his family choose to focus not on the hardship of the moment but on Gods ability to love them through it. Rejoice in the Lord with them as they learn that joy and peace come with believing that God is using all of lifes twists and turns to accomplish purposes far beyond our understanding. Jesus Christ can provide just what we need to live not as victims, but as victors. But will we, like Jeff Hillman, choose to trust in Him?
