Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Lament is not the opposite of faith. It is the sound faith makes when it refuses to lie."What do you do when the verses stop fitting?When the diagnosis does not change. When the prayer goes unanswered. When someone hands you everything happens for a reason and you have to walk away before you say something you cannot take back.Have you felt ashamed of being angry at God? Have you wondered whether your questions disqualify you from being counted among the faithful?They do not - and you are in older company than you think.Dr Michael Janse van Rensburg spent six years writing a doctoral thesis on how a good God can be present in a suffering world. Fifteen months after he finished it, his wife Lynn was diagnosed with stage four cancer and given weeks to live. This book was written from inside that room - not afterwards, not from a safe distance, but from within a story that has not yet resolved.This is not a book about getting over grief. It is a book for people who are not on the other side yet.Drawing on Scripture's own language of protest - the psalms of lament, Job's unanswered questions, Gethsemane, and a Saviour who wept at a grave He was about to open - When Faith Learns to Lament gives grieving Christians permission to bring God the truth instead of a performance.Inside you will find: That roughly a third of the Psalms are laments, and what the prayer book God gave His people says about the prayers you are allowed to prayPsalm 88, the prayer that never resolves, and why God kept it in the Bible anywayHoly Saturday: how to live an ordinary day inside a crisis with no end dateDisenfranchised grief, and the losses nobody brings a casserole forTelling children the truth, in doses they can carryHow to let people carry you, and a chapter to hand to anyone who wants to show up for youReflection questions, written prayers, a guide to writing your own lament, and a six-session reading group guideThis book is for anyone who is grieving. Whether what you are carrying is cancer, chronic illness, caregiving, bereavement, divorce, infertility or dementia - or whether you love someone who is carrying it and you do not know what to say - the permission in these pages is yours.You will not find five steps, a tidy ending, or a promise the author cannot keep. You will find company, honest theology, and permission to grieve without losing your faith.From the author of Where Are You, God? My Wife Has Cancer. When the verses stop fitting, what is left? A theologian caring for his dying wife turns to Psalm 88 - the one prayer in Scripture that never resolves. An honest companion for anyone grieving without answers. This item is printed on demand.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. "Where are you, God?"A question that rises the moment a child's world tilts sideways - when Mom goes into the hospital, when Grandpa gets sick, when there's a diagnosis nobody can quite explain, or when someone they love is gone and everything suddenly feels unsteady.Where Are You, God? is a gentle, richly illustrated collection of Bible stories written to sit beside a frightened child and answer that question honestly - with comfort a child can hold onto, and truth a grown-up can trust.From Hagar alone in the desert to Daniel in the lions' den, from Jesus weeping at a friend's grave to the promise of a day when God wipes away every tear, each story meets children exactly where they are: scared, confused, maybe even angry - and longing to know they haven't been forgotten.This book makes no false promises that everyone always gets better. Instead, it offers something that holds up on the hardest days: God is present. God hears every prayer. Tears and hard questions are always welcome. And nothing - not sickness, not fear, not even death - can separate a child from God's love.Each story includes: A vivid, read-aloud retelling in simple, age-appropriate languageA gentle "What This Means for Me" reflection connecting the story to real fear and griefA short memory verse (World English Bible)A simple prayer, written in a child's own voiceWarm, full-colour illustrations for every storyBorn out of one family's real journey through a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, this book was read aloud, during quiet bedtimes - and it was written to be read the same way in yours: slowly, together, out loud.Whether your family is facing a new diagnosis, a hospital stay, a grandparent's decline, or the loss of someone dear, this book was written for exactly this moment. It's a companion for parents, grandparents, children's pastors, and hospital chaplains alike - and a gift that says, without pretending: you are seen, you are loved, and you are never, ever alone. A gentle, illustrated Bible storybook for children facing illness, fear, or loss. Real Bible stories that answer "Where are you, God?" with honest comfort: God is present, God hears every prayer, and nothing can separate a child from His love. This item is printed on demand.
