Sinossi
In When Prophets Want to Die: The Hardest Lessons God Will Ever Try to Teach You you'll explore those moments in the Bible when the man of God wanted death rather than the life currently confronting him. Some begged God to kill them, some longed to remove the days of their birth, and sadly a few others chose to die at their own hand. What would cause such despair to overwhelm these heroic figures?
In this book, you'll walk with Mike Clarensau as he explores these compelling and heart-rending stories in search of their deepest insights and uncovers the difficult lessons God sought to teach these great men, lessons so challenging that death seemed an easier path. These certainly weren’t weak men, but they were overwhelmed by the eternally-minded expectations that confronted them and death seemed to offer their only chance for relief.
But this book presents more than just a historical review of ancient accounts. As Clarensau notes, such moments aren't reserved solely for these legendary leaders. In fact, these same tests are on God’s teaching agenda for every individual who would follow Him and seek to be like Him. So, each chapter also explores contemporary applications of these lessons and encouragement for those moments when the reader will face them. As Clarensau concludes, these are the hardest lessons God will ever try to teach each of us, and at some point, He most certainly will.
To enhance the reader's encounter with each story, both individual questions for reflection and group questions for discussion with small groups are included.
