Where Do Broken Hearts Go? by W. Ross Hastings Pdf

Grounded in the narrative of the loss of his own wife, Ross Hastings seeks to provide insight into the universal human condition of loss and grief . . . and speaks comfort. All kinds of losses produce grief--loss of jobs, homes, friendships, health, losses through divorce, and loss through death of parents, children, and spouses--and we are often unprepared for it. Applicable to all who go through loss, this book will also offer skills for pastors, pastors-in-training, and friends seeking to offer comfort to grieving people. It will weave together first-order theological, as well as integrated psychological insights that relate to loss and grieving, interspersed with personal stories. The ultimately redemptive nature of grief is highlighted, with sensitivity to the grieving process. It offers comfort for the grieving found in fresh awareness of the orientation and action of the triune God who is for us, who invites us to participate in his life and love, and gathers up our grief, and in Christ, suffers with us. It beckons us towards spiritual attentiveness, permission for emotional honesty, normalization of the grief process, practices that enable coping and redemptive transformation in the present, and hope grounded in future resurrection reality.

Worshiping Through the Tears by Michael Burdick Pdf

Our relationship with God is more than acknowledging Him as Creator and Lord of all. What God desires most is a deep, personal relationship with each believer. In short, He wants to be our Father. Like all relationships, nothing tests devotion to God more than times of grief, sorrow, and loss. Relying on God is one thing easily uttered but meaning it with your heart during times of trial takes a greater amount of purposeful focus. Worshiping Through the Tears will help you walk with the Lord even when your heart is hurting the most. Through worship, you will learn to be open in conversations with God. Learn how to rely on His Holy Spirit to provide comfort—and ultimately find the peace and sense of joy promised in Scripture. “Getting over it” is not required nor should it be your goal. Walking with God through trials allows Him to experience your pain and sorrow, allows Him to hold you through grief, and enables you to experience His unbreakable love so you can get through the pain. The journey is a process that starts and continues with worship—even when you are Worshiping Through the Tears. www.encouragingworship.com

What Not To Say To A Grieving Heart by Alan Griffith Pdf

Grief is something that we all must deal with at some point in our life. It cannot be escaped by any of us. The Bible tells us that "it is appointed unto man once to die." But it is not something that we know how to handle very well, especially when it comes to helping others navigate through everything that comes with it: shock, denial, anger, depression, loneliness, etc. Pastor Alan Griffith pulls from his over thirty years of ministry, as well as the loss of his wife to help us minister more effectively to those who have lost a loved one and to understand "What Not to Say to a Grieving Heart." There are some things that may be true but not helpful, some things that are not true at all, and some things that just should not be said period. Sometimes the best way to minister to a grieving heart is to say nothing at all. Most people want to be of some comfort to those who are grieving, but they just don't know what to say or do to make a difference. If you are looking at this book, you are one of those people who want to make a difference in someone's life. This book will help you better minister to those who have experienced a great loss in their life.

Hope for the Brokenhearted by Dr. John Luke Terveen Pdf

This book grew out of Dr. John Luke Terveen's own experience with grief and loss resulting from his fourteen-year-old daughter's death. he scoured books looking for comfort but found the Bible itself to be his greates source of hope, comfort, wise counsel, and encouragement. After reviewing more than 200 books on grief and loss, he discovered that none investigated biblical passages discussing grief and loss. He set out to fill the huge, unmet need for a book that helps Christians embrace relevant Scriptures more fully and seriously in the midst of their mourning. The biblical selections deal with the hard questions, honest passions, and divine hope that only one who has walked down the path of sorrow could write about. Topics such as resurrection, the second coming, heaven, the resurrection body, doubt, anger, guilt, and dashed dreams are covered with great care to minister to the hearts of those who are grieving.
