Rejoicing in Lament

Languages : en
Pages : 218

Book Description
At the age of thirty-nine, Christian theologian Todd Billings was diagnosed with a rare form of incurable cancer. In the wake of that diagnosis, he began grappling with the hard theological questions we face in the midst of crisis: Why me? Why now? Where is God in all of this? This eloquently written book shares Billings's journey, struggle, and reflections on providence, lament, and life in Christ in light of his illness, moving beyond pat answers toward hope in God's promises. Theologically robust yet eminently practical, it engages the open questions, areas of mystery, and times of disorientation in the Christian life. Billings offers concrete examples through autobiography, cultural commentary, and stories from others, showing how our human stories of joy and grief can be incorporated into the larger biblical story of God's saving work in Christ.

The End of the Christian Life

Author: J. Todd Billings
Publisher: Brazos Press
ISBN: 1493427547
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 281

Book Description
We're all going to die. Yet in our medically advanced, technological age, many of us see death as a distant reality--something that happens only at the end of a long life or to other people. In The End of the Christian Life, Todd Billings urges Christians to resist that view. Instead, he calls us to embrace our mortality in our daily life and faith. This is the journey of genuine discipleship, Billings says: following the crucified and resurrected Lord in a world of distraction and false hopes. Drawing on his experience as a professor and father living with incurable cancer, Billings offers a personal yet deeply theological account of the gospel's expansive hope for small, mortal creatures. Artfully weaving rich theology with powerful narrative, Billings writes for church leaders and laypeople alike. Whether we are young or old, reeling from loss or clinging to our own prosperity, this book challenges us to walk a strange but wondrous path: in the midst of joy and lament, to receive mortal limits as a gift, an opportunity to give ourselves over to the Lord of life.

Rejoicing in the Lord Jesus in All Cases and Conditions

Category : Christian life

Pages : 0

Book Description
"I've got a wonderful feeling. Everything's going my way." These words from the famous musical, "Oklahoma!" describe the basis for the feelings of most people--they can be happy when things are going their way, but not in every situation. In this book, the English Puritan Robert Asty reminds us that we are to rejoice in the Lord Jesus no matter what our circumstances. The Apostle Paul commands believers to rejoice in all things. The Lord Jesus is the ground of joy, says Asty, if we have a saving interest in Christ. As in so many Puritan writings, this book contains an abundance of encouragement and hope for believers. This book also contains two sermons on Colossians 1:5 and Romans 8:1 that have not been included in any modern reprints.

Rejoice and Tremble

Author: Michael Reeves
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433565358
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 171

Book Description
Fear is one of the strongest human emotions, and it is one that often baffles Christians. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." — Proverbs 1:7 Fear is one of the strongest human emotions—and one that often baffles Christians. In the Bible the picture can seem equally confusing: Is fear a good thing or a bad thing? And what does it mean to "fear the Lord"? In Rejoice and Tremble, Michael Reeves clears the clouds of confusion and shows that the fear of the Lord is not a negative thing at all, but an intensely delighted wondering at God, our Creator and Redeemer.
