What do you do when someone you love leaves? And how do you pursue
someone who has hurt you, who has sinned against you? In Letting
Go, pastors Dave Harvey and Paul Gilbert share stories of pain and
stories of hope as they reveal how to care for the prodigal who has
strayed. Whether you are dealing with an unfaithful marriage
partner, a rebellious child, or a wayward friend, the counsel they
offer will help you to pursue a gospel-rooted approach, grounded in
truth and practiced in the midst of Christian community. While each
situation is unique, most stories deal with common themes of shame,
guilt, confusion, uncertainty, and struggle. You will understand
the spiritual dynamics at work in the heart of the prodigal and how
you as a family member, spouse, friend, or church leader can best
relate to them in love. You will learn how to practice "redemptive
release" through confrontation and discipline as well as how to
forgive the person who has hurt you through a process of
reconciliation. For those in a time of waiting and wondering if
their loved one will ever return home, there is a reminder of the
hope of the gospel and the necessity of depending upon the Holy
Spirit through prayer. A must-have resource for every believer
struggling to love the prodigal back home again, it is ideal for
parents and siblings, counselors, pastors, and those ministering to
hurting families and churches.
As people face addictions, deal with loss and grief, and seek help
in restoring broken relationships, where can they turn for counsel
and assistance? The local church has been uniquely blessed with the
gift of the gospel and is able to offer hope and counsel that no
other institution on earth can. In Biblical Counseling and the
Church, Bob Kellemen and Kevin Carson have assembled over twenty
respected ministry leaders who examine the relationship between
counseling and the church. This comprehensive resource, part of the
Biblical Counseling Coalition series, helps leaders and counselors
develop a vision that goes beyond being a church with a biblical
counseling ministry to becoming a church of biblical counseling-a
church culture that is saturated by "one-another" ministry. Divided
into five parts, Biblical Counseling and the Church will help
church leaders: Unite the pulpit ministry of preaching the Word
with the personal ministry of the Word in counseling Offer
practical and theological training to equip counselors Launch and
lead a counseling ministry, regardless of the size of your church
Bring together the relational focus of small group ministry with
the ministry of care and counseling Better understand the
relationship between biblical counseling, church discipline, and
conflict resolution Learn how to use counseling in outreach through
"missional" biblical counseling-moving biblical counseling beyond
the doors of the church and into the world
Heaven Is the Home You've Been Waiting For In this world of fear,
trials, and loneliness we often feel adrift--like we're still
searching for a place where we can truly make ourselves at home.
There's a longing for something more, something that makes us feel
like we belong, something that resonates perfectly with who we were
made to be. This longing is no small thing to be brushed off and
forgotten--it's a guidepost letting us know we were made for
another world. Earth is not our home. But it's close. What we long
for is the new earth, the place God has been preparing for our
eternity with him. In Home, Elyse Fitzpatrick explores heaven and
the afterlife, demonstrating that our final destination is not some
dull, featureless space in the clouds, but rather a perfected
earth. It's a real, physical place that we'll explore with real
bodies. A place of beauty and wonder and free of all death and
decay. No need to chase a bucket list. On the new earth there will
be no end of glorious sites and amazing activities, and we'll never
run out of time to do them all. Includes questions for group
discussion.
