The Eagle - Don't Despair Passages in the Gospel of John (Paperback)

It's a lovely thought that throughone's congregation we can gain, and also give to each other, help in times ofdespair. Paul wrote to his Thessalonian Christians: "Therefore encourage oneanother ... encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you aredoing" (1 Thessalonians 4:18; 5:11). Ron Lavin illustrates this principleelegantly in the following chapters as he examines the passages in John'sgospel concerning the admonition not to despair. John quotes Jesus as saying to hisdisciples reassuring words such as, "Do not let your hearts be troubled...."Lavin covers the rest John has to say on the subject very well. Do not despairand do read on. JerryL. Schmalenberger President, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary (Retired) Berkeley, California TheBible contains some of the most comforting, reassuring words in history. Manyof these timeless passages can be found in a single book: the gospel of John.Ron Lavin begins his series on the gospels by exploring John's words ofencouragement and how they still speak to us through the ages. The Eaglecan be utilized in a Bible study or support group setting. It can also be usedsimply as a lifeline for people who need a ray of light to shine in their ownpersonal darkness, carrying them on eagles' wings to the light of God'spresence. RonLavin is the award-winning author of over 25 books, including Witness, Turning Griping Into Gratitude, and the popular Another Lookseries. The former Pastor-Director of Evangelical Outreach for the LutheranChurch in America, Lavin also served as the pastor of five thrivingcongregations that grew substantially under his leadership.
