Sinopsis

Lewis and Sarah Allen Teach Young Christians How to Approach Difficulties and Disappointments Biblically
We all encounter problems and challenges on a daily basis, ranging from small things—traffic, losing your keys, or running late—to much bigger issues—job insecurity, health issues, and relationship struggles. What should a believer in Christ do in the face of such adversities? 
Authors Lewis and Sarah Allen propose that while the world may teach us one way to approach challenges, there is a better way—complete dependence on Christ and pursuit of wise living. With the help of the Holy Spirit, Christians are able to live more joy-filled lives in the midst of adversity. In a conversational and personal tone, the Allens walk through key biblical passages as they relate to challenges and share stories, case studies, and illustrations to encourage us to rely on Christ and commit to his church in the battle of Christian life.

- Engaging and Interactive: Includes case studies and illustrations, with questions and prayers at the end of every chapter

The Ten Commandments

Arthur W. Pink

The Ten Commandments by Arthur W. Pink is a short introduction to God’s Moral Law. Pink shows that the Moral Law is still binding on all men today, that humanity will be judged for its violation, and that it is the rule of life and means of sanctification for the Christian. At one time, this was the prevailing understanding in Christianity.God gave the commandments for His own glory and also for the good of man. Each commandment has both a positive and negative force. If something is forbidden, the opposite virtue is enjoined. The chapter on the Fifth Commandment has a helpful section directed to parents and children. This little book is particularly relevant to the current struggles of our modern Godless and antinomian era, and it is vital that we return to these truths.This audiobook is read from the original as much as possible, with only minor changes to make it understandable to a listener.

The Spirituality of Grief - Ten...

Fran Tilton Shelton

Grief is all-consuming. Shattering. After the death of a loved one, we ask questions about the meaning of life, the whys of death, and how to carry our sorrow. 
 
 
 
The Spirituality of Grief honors the complex nature of grief and offers simple comfort: we are not alone, and there is no one right way to grieve. Author Fran Tilton Shelton, cofounder of the nonprofit Faith & Grief, walks us through the questions that gather in the wake of a loved one's death: Why are we exhausted? What do we do with guilt? How do we take care of ourselves? And when will we get over our grief? Each chapter offers a spiritual practice, emerging from a variety of religious traditions, for those who remain. From breath prayers and nature walks to the examen and sacred reading, Shelton guides listeners through each spiritual practice and its potential for sustaining hope and connecting us to God. 
 
 
 
All who love will eventually grieve. Universal and particular, shared and solitary, grief rearranges every aspect of life. But by bringing the resources of spirituality to bear on our losses, we can carry our sorrows rather than silence them. Within the rhythms of spiritual practices, we find what we need to make it through the week, the day, the hour. We don't move on when a loved one dies, but grace can help us sustain our love for them and their love for us.
