ISBN: 9781632961310 - imprisoned to hope: forgiveness as a form of lament (22 risultati)

paperback. Condizione: As New.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The American church does not understand lamentation and does not like to lament. The unwise aversion to lament has contributed to the thinness of American Christianity. With Imprisoned to Hope Vernon Burger has sent up a signal flare and alerted us to the loss we suffer when we refuse the necessary role of lament. In this well-researched and well-written book, Burger traces lament through the Bible and insightfully connects it with the practice of Christian forgiveness. Imprisoned to Hope offers a pathway toward healing that many of us need to walk. --Brian Zahnd Pastor of Word of Life Church, St. Joseph, Missouri, Author of Sinners in the Hands of a Loving GodYou would think that Christians would be experts in forgiveness, not only because we've been forgiven much but also because we're commanded by Christ to forgive others. But unforgiveness is a perennial problem in the Church. Why? Enter Vernon Burger's insightful study on the importance of lament. Based on his careful study of the Scriptures, Burger describes what he calls the anatomy of lament, that which is constitutive of genuine, liberating, revolutionary forgiveness. Since we don't know how to truly grieve over our sin--not only our personal foibles but also the injustices of the world--we fail to realize the forgiveness only Christ can bring. Punctuated by his own story of abuse and restless longing for healing, Burger explains how a wounded soul finds restoration in the singular act of biblical lamentation in Christ. A must-read for those who identify with Jesus's lament on the cross, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' --Rodney Reeves, Dean and Redford Professor of Biblical Studies, Southwest Baptist UniversityIt's so rare to see a book on this subject, but it is beyond necessary and long overdue. This great work will lead you to a healthy perspective of worship in hardship, maybe for the first time. --Tedashii Anderson, Artist/Performer, Radio Host, Speaker, WriterWith the raw emotions that come with lament, Vernon Burger charts a course back home from the dark places of pain. Imprisoned to Hope is the spiritual journey that so many people need to see how God meets us in our pain and delivers us into a closer relationship with Christ. --Dr. Philip Nation, Pastor, Author of Habits for Our HolinessThe tears of God are the strength of history. It is this paradox that is the pathway for an honest faith that is both honoring to God and able to be true to every day life. Imprisoned to Hope will help you: Learn The Big Story of God's redemption for all creation See how to recover lament as a way for honest faith Know that forgiveness itself is a type of lament Live out the the hope of God's merciful presence in all of life When we understand that God is fully present, and affected, during the deepest times of violation, we are then empowered to vocalize our greatest pains and see that honest faith is not only filled with praise, but can even include pain and doubt. It is this type of biblical faith that allows us to see His merciful presence in all situations. This is the path to being imprisoned to hope.…
