Removing The Sting Of Death
$19.99What if Your Loss Could Spark a Divine Breakthrough?
When prayers seem to go unanswered, when the miracle you want is nowhere to be found, when the pain of loss sears your soul, how will you respond?
For months, thousands around the globe prayed for a miraculous healing for Beni, beloved wife of pastor Bill Johnson, that never came. At Bethel Church, a global outpost of revival known for its signs and wonders, her passing thundered through the community like an avalanche in the valley.
Yet in the days following her homegoing, Pastor Bill delivered one of the most powerful, vulnerable, Holy Spirit-inspired sermons from that valley floor, offering courage, peace, and hope for anyone facing overwhelming loss and grief.
In this powerful new book based on that watershed sermon, Bill draws from scripture and his own experience of deep personal loss, teaching you how to process your pain with God and experience new dimensions of His presence available in times of suffering.
With raw honesty and compassion born from lifting hands in praise amidst tears of grief, Bill empowers you to:
*Run toward God’s presence instead of away from Him.
*Grieve with heavenly hope.
*Rediscover the simplicity of faith that trusts Him no matter what.
*Surrender your disappointment, pain, and questions to God.
*Receive a vision for the other side of your mourning.
*Embrace the mystery as much as the miracle.Sometimes the most priceless gifts you can give God are only found in the valley: joy in loss, celebration in pain. Even as the darkness of the soul seems complete, choose this day to draw near to Him and experience aspects of His presence you can only find this side of heaven.

Cradled In Hope
$66.65A mother’s heart is shattered and forever changed when she loses a precious baby. Overwhelmed by sadness, she feels abandoned by God, questions his goodness, and wonders how she will move forward in life while in such deep pain. Ashley Opliger, founder of Bridget’s Cradles, wrestled with these same things when her daughter, Bridget, was born into heaven at twenty-four weeks. Amid her anguish, she found faith in God to not only heal her heart, but to change her life–and the lives of others.
Here she creates a safe place for grieving moms to cry, ask why, and bring their sadness, anger, bitterness, loneliness, shame, and hopelessness to one who can hold it all–Jesus. She gently guides heartbroken moms on a journey to trust him to heal their hearts, restore their joy, and use their grief for good. But most importantly, she reminds them that no matter where they are on their grief journey, God promises to give them a hope-filled future, both on earth and in heaven with their babies for all of eternity.

Pain Of A Particular Kind
$10.00There are few things which any parent dreads more than the thought of outliving his or her child, or grandchild. The deaths of parents, friends, relatives and even one’s spouse are terrible indeed, but the death of one’s child possesses a peculiar kind of horror.
In four brief chapters, Peter Barnes draws on his own experience to offer help to those who have suffered such a loss. As he says in the Introduction, ‘This is not a work of apologetics, but a brief attempt to understand and work through grief, for myself, my family, and for any other readers. It has only heightened the sense of my own need to receive comfort myself. Such comfort can only come from the God who is our creator and our redeemer. The hope remains that God will use this book to minister to and bless any of his people who have suffered the agony of losing a child.’

When author Missy Buchanan lost her beloved husband of 43 years, she was devastated. As she looked for meaningful resources to help her with her grief, Missy found most books too long or heady.

Lay Me In Gods Good Earth
$20.00A Christian case for natural burial
The promises of the Christian gospel are never more precious or more beautiful than in the context of death and burial. And yet current burial practices in Western society are archaic and impersonal. They fail to confront us with the reality of death, and they make it harder to process death or to grieve properly.
Kent Burreson and Beth Hoeltke have been teaching a Christian understanding of death and natural burial for many years. They argue that natural burial-laying the body into the earth in a way that allows it to decompose naturally-is not only better for the environment but is also a more accurate picture of Christian hope of the resurrection. Grounded in sound Christian teaching about death and burial, they advocate for natural burial and offer practical instructions for navigating the complex questions around burial practices.
Lay Me in God’s Good Earth is not only an immensely practical guide to natural burial; it is also an application of the hope of the resurrection to those grieving the loss of their loved ones.

Hope For Hurting Hearts
$15.99We have a tendency to go about our day-to-day routines under the assumption that this earthly existence of ours will never change. But it does, and it will. Our residency here on Earth is quite brief and precarious. Nothing brings that more to light than when a loved one unexpectedly steps out of this life into eternity. We are shaken and begin to ask the bigger questions:
IS Heaven real? Will I see them again? How can I know for sure?

As Long As You Need
$19.99Veteran hospital chaplain to the sick, dying, and bereaved, J.S. Park offers you both the permission and the process for how to grieve and heal at your own pace.
In As Long As You Need, J.S. offers an honest and unrushed engagement with grief, decoding four types of grieving–spiritual, mental, physical, and relational–and offering compassionate self-care and soul-care along the way.
If you are struggling to process loss, pain, or grief from the last few years or the last few minutes, J.S. is an experienced and deeply empathetic listener and grief catcher who has held the pain and questions of thousands of patients. While social and cultural narratives about grief are dominated by “letting go, moving on, or turning the page” in his nearly decade of service as a chaplain at a major hospital with a designated level one trauma center J.S. understands firsthand how rushing or suppressing grief only adds a suffocating layer of pain on top of the original wound.
From his unique window into the stories of the ill, injured, dying, and their families, J.S. offers you:
*Permission to dismantle all too common myths about grief and replace them with a guilt-free and unrushed approach to navigating your losses.
*Encouragement for how entering grief, rather than avoiding it, leads to a hard but meaningful holding of your loss.
*Empathy and hope if you are struggling with a crisis of faith in the midst of grief.
*Recognition that grief spans a wide narrative of loss: loss of future, faith, mental health, worth, autonomy, connection, and loved ones.
*Affirmation that your grief is your own. While the DNA of grief might be universal to the human condition, how you experience and process grief is unique to you.
From the ER to deliveries to deathbeds across every sort of illness and injury imaginable, J.S. Park has provided meaningful counseling for people in all walks of life and death. Now, through his book he wants to assure you that, while everybody else might rush past your pain, grief is the voice that says, take as long as you need.

Looking Up : A Birder’s Guide To Hope Through Grief
$18.00“Look at the birds”
Through the painful days of the pandemic stuck in her home, Courtney Ellis found herself looking down in despair. Soon after, her beloved grandfather died unexpectedly.
It was around this same time that Ellis took up watching birds. “Took up” might not be exactly right–as she puts it, “the switch flipped,” and she’s been borderline obsessed with birds ever since.
Looking Up is a meditation on birding as a practice of hope. Weaving together stories from her own life, including the death of her grandfather, with reflections on birds of many kinds, Ellis invites us to open our eyes to the goodness of God both in the natural world and in our own lives. By “looking up” to the birds, Ellis found the beauty and wonder of these creatures calling her out of her darkness into the light and hope of God’s promises.

Hopeful Lament : Tending Our Grief Through Spiritual Practices
$19.99We need to rediscover lament to heal and hope again.
We’ve lost the practice of lament. Most people don’t know how to process personal or communal mourning and instead struggle to honor their tears, vulnerability, and the full weight of these disillusioning times. But tending our grief might be exactly what we need to reimagine a way forward.
Tracing her difficult experiences of a catastrophic home fire, a threat to her child’s well-being, and other devastating losses and upheavals, Terra McDaniel offers a clear framework for expressing heartache and burdens. McDaniel says, “Lament is surprisingly hopeful. As strange as that may sound now, I promise it’s true. It’s an act of trust both that we can face pain and survive, and that God cares about our anger, confusion, doubt, grief, and fear. Lament refuses to bury pain or, just as dangerous, to give in to despair.”
Hopeful Lament makes space for the powerful act of crying out before a loving God and offers provoking reflection questions, embodied practices, and applications for families with children. Learn how to journey gently through suffering.

I Used To Be
$16.99Navigate Through Grief with Biblical Mental Health Tools
When you suffer a loss, you enter the realm of “used to be.” You used to be married. You used to be employed. You used to be pregnant, secure, healthy, sober, thin. You used to be a son or daughter, a brother or sister, a mother or father. And in that used-to-be space there is deep emptiness, loneliness, and sorrow. It’s a place we all dwell for a while. But it’s not a place in which we are meant to remain.
The path forward includes exploring the unseen elements of grief. With this book, pastor Chuck Elliott and counselor Ashley Elliott light the way to a better future. Sharing biblical advice and proven mental health techniques, they help you learn how to fully feel and face your grief, hold onto your faith, and develop healthy ways to see yourself, your life, and your loved ones. They offer coping strategies for when moving forward seems impossible and guide you toward building new thinking patterns that will result in true healing and growth.
Maybe you “used to be” something–but there is a future waiting when you “will be” once more.

Grieving Well : A Healing Journey Through The Season Of Grief
$18.99Death is a part of life. Even though it is a certainty, most of us are unequipped and ill-prepared for it.
When we consider the timeline of life; it is clear that life unfolds in a series of seasons. Each of those seasons has a beginning, middle, and end. It’s easy to celebrate birth and the start of a new life because with birth comes so much optimism, hope and joy! The majority of life takes place in the seasons of growing up and becoming an adult, becoming a parent and perhaps a grandparent; this part of life is typically busy and filled with activities and lots of distractions. The most difficult part comes at the end of life’s journey.
Whether the end comes suddenly or over a period of time, it comes with a sense of loss and emptinesss when we lose someone we love. According to the Faith Hospice website, a three-year study was conducted by Amerispeak and WebMD prior to COVID-19 in which they found that 57% of Americans are grieving in some way–the loss of a loved one, patients, human connection–at any given time. That means, if you’re walking down the street or shopping at the store, every other person you see is dealing with grief.
In Grieving Well, storyteller Terri DeBoer has teamed up with Janet Jaymin. It is from Janet’s personal journey as a grief counselor helping thousands of individuals and families that allows her to validate that what was will never be the same. These thoughts and feelings can be a complete sense of doom and gloom for the individual but through Grieving Well, they can realize that while grief cannot be cured, peace can be found.

Hope For The Hurting

In a span of less than two years, he lost his brother, sister, brother-in-law, two nieces, father, and wife. At the same time, both of his daughters received cancer diagnoses. In the wake of all this pain, Dr. Evans had to put into practice, at the deepest levels, the truths he has preached about God for more than forty years.
God’s Word doesn’t promise us a life free from pain and trouble. It promises us something else-Someone else. Someone who will walk with us through all of life’s trials and troubles.

Hope Beyond An Empty Cradle
$18.99Tens of thousands of women and families every year lose a baby to miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death. The statistics are sobering–between 10% and 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, 1% in stillbirth, and nearly 23,000 babies die before their first birthday–but statistics alone miss the depth of the hurt. Each loss is personal and devastating.
No woman is prepared to lose a baby, and caregivers are often unaware of how best to help. In Hope Beyond an Empty Cradle therapist Hallie Scott first shares her own story, as a mother whose only child, Abigail, was stillborn, and then leads readers through a healing process that makes space for heartbreak, despair, guilt, questions, and anger. Life is never the same in the wake of the loss, but a new normal is possible.
The book will be a welcome resource for families who have lost a child, as well as for those seeking to care for them in their traumatic grief.

Beautiful And Terrible Things
$22.00With deep faith, knowledge of Scripture, and the wisdom that comes only from experience, Brady guides readers grieving losses and setbacks of all kinds in voicing their lament to God, reflecting on the nature of human existence, and persevering in hope. Brady finds that rather than an image of God managing every event and action in our lives, the biblical account describes the very real world in which we all live, a world full of hardship and calamity that often comes unbidden and unmerited. Yet, it also is a world into which God lovingly intrudes to bring comfort, peace, and grace.
Bible scholar Christian Brady, an expert on Old Testament lament, was as prepared as a person could be for the death of a child-which is to say, not nearly well enough. When his eight-year-old son died suddenly from a fast-moving blood infection, Brady heard the typical platitudes about accepting God’s will and knew that quiet acceptance was not the only godly way to grieve.

God Help Me Im Grieving
$12.99Have you lost someone–or something–dear to you?
At some point, whether through the loss of a friend or family member, a decline in health, or the end of a career or a relationship, everyone will encounter grief. After nearly twenty-five years in the mental health field, author and licensed professional counselor Katherine B. Barner is well-acquainted with the ways grief can impact a life.
While grief is unavoidable, it is also a valuable aspect of the human experience. Utilizing Biblical examples of human grief–and God’s acceptance of its complicated rawness–Barner demonstrates how a person’s response to loss does not indicate a lack of faith but testifies instead to their humanity and the life-affirming choice to love and be loved. Filled with practical tips for handling loss and avoiding contention with those who lack compassion or grieve differently, this valuable resource includes a section dedicated to navigating holidays and events while grieving.
Crafting this guide from her professional experience as well as from lessons learned during her own seasons of mourning, Barner offers compassion and guidance to those suffering a loss.
Designed not only to assist readers through the process of grief but to grant them permission to fully experience it, God Help Me, I’m Grieving validates each reader’s unique response to loss, allowing it to become a vehicle of inner change and spiritual and emotional growth.

NotesAdditional Info
“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings.” Philippians 3:10 (ASV)If we follow Jesus, we will experience pain. It comes with the territory. We might face hardship because of our Christian commitment, or we may have challenges just from living in a fallen world. Either way, Christians follow in the footsteps of our suffering Savior and participate in his suffering.
But that’s not the whole story. Missionary Paul Borthwick and pastor Dave Ripper show how transformation through our personal pain enables us to minister faithfully to a hurting world. They candidly share about their own struggles and how they have seen God’s kingdom advance through hardship and suffering. Though we naturally avoid suffering, Christians throughout church history have become powerful witnesses to Christ as a result of their brokenness.
Life is painful, but pain need not have dominion over us. Instead, it can propel us in missional solidarity with our suffering world. Come find comfort and renewed purpose in the fellowship of the suffering.

IndexAdditional Info
A 2003 Finalist in the United Kingdom Christian Book Awards! “Albert,” the neighbor said, “your mom needs you to come home.” That’s how it began for Albert Hsu when his father died. Anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide experiences tremendous shock and trauma. What follows is a confusing mix of emotions-anger, guilt, grief, and despair. Suicide raises heartrending questions: Why did this happen? Why didn’t we see it coming? Could we have done anything to prevent it? How can we go on? Many also wonder if those who choose suicide are doomed to an eternity separated from God and their loved ones. Some may even start asking whether life is worth living at all. After his father’s death, Hsu wrestled with the intense emotional and theological questions surrounding suicide. While acknowledging that there are no easy answers, he draws on the resources of the Christian faith to point suicide survivors to the God who offers comfort in our grief and hope for the future. For those who have lost a loved one to suicide and for their counselors and pastors, this book is an essential companion for the journey toward healing. This revised edition incorporates the latest statistics, has expanded resources for suicide prevention and mental health ministry, and now includes a discussion guide for suicide survivor groups.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Inside The Shadow
$19.98Can a mother continue to live when her child dies? I thought not. I believed this sorrow would bring my death. The years of cancer treatment had been filled with a mixture of uncertainty and hope, an unshakable hope in God’s healing. Yet now, the heart beat that had been formed within me had stopped and the gaping wound it had left would surely cause my own heartbeat to cease. Somehow, my lungs continued to take in air and my heart continued to beat. When a child dies, a parent undergoes a rapid free fall into the valley of the shadow of death. Whether through tragic accident, suicide, or prolonged illness, such as Kristen’s, the descent into the valley is a headlong dive into the solitary, expansive valley of grief. To me, the valley appeared to be bleak and sunless; I realized I was inside the shadow that death had created. This was a place that I could not possibly traverse on my own. I did not wish to be inside the shadow yet I could see no way out.

Life After Breath
$14.99After her husband takes his last breath, and after she tries to catch hers…
“During those last few months, the pressure was something of another world and as earthly life wept, the bleeding of our hearts began to mingle with eternity and hovered in a strange vapor. There was no song to be heard; just the rhythm of waiting; and life held its breath.” “The truth of what is ahead for you must be found in God’s Word. You will see there that you are meant to be one of His greatest allies in these times of faint hearts and tribulation. As a widow, you have been called for a great and unique purpose.” The word “widow” carries with it the meaning of being severed; torn apart from what she was once one with. In Hebrew, it means “an empty house.” To be a widow also means to be prepared “apart” but God’s tender heart never meant for her to be isolated and crippled. Widows are prepared apart for a “set-apart” calling. Life After Breath is a warm and honest companion and friend in the midst of a widow’s darkness and seclusion, and sets in place the foundation for her future with insight into a sacred Biblical revelation that will take your breath away. Life After Breath is a faithful friend and companion to a widow’s grief that will enable her to look into grief and heal when others want to look away. It gives resolve without insisting on an answer and prepares a widow to champion her own Biblical cause in a way that no other book or resource on the market offers. There are countless millions of widows crippled without a voice; Life After Breath breathes life back into a grieving woman and prepares her apart for a set-apart calling.

My Babys Feet
$17.62Choice, Death, and the Aftermath
Fearfully and desperately wanting to hide my mistakes and deny the unwanted, but not totally unexpected ramifications of my earlier choices, I chose what seemed to be the easiest answer. I chose death, and then I moved into the aftermath of my choice. I, for a lifetime and beyond, will live in the aftermath of my choice. Although there is recovery, through forgiveness, there are lasting ramifications. No one told me that the ramifications of my choice would last forever. No one told me what my choice would do to my heart. No one told me that my choice was, in fact, a death sentence for my baby.Are you, or someone you know, facing an unwanted pregnancy? Are you wondering if “choice” is the answer, the easiest solution?
After the “choice” comes the aftermath. A living choice not only gives life to a baby, but results in an aftermath of life. Abortion results in an aftermath forever shrouded in death, death of a baby, perhaps death of your own baby. For those struggling with the aftermath of abortion, you and your loved ones can find forgiveness.This book is for:
Teenage moms wrestling with choice and an unplanned pregnancy
Loved ones who are seeking resolution after abortion
Anyone who needs hope and healing after abortion
This book is a great tool for teen pregnancy educators, pregnancy center advisors, and those seeking to learn more about the emotional struggles, post abortion. It is written out of love and understanding by a woman who thought her choice was the best answer. Whether or not you are a Christian, you will be inspired by the author’s incredible faith, without which it would have been impossible to write this book.
Through my story, I pray that you will know that a living choice is the only real choice.
Join me in my story of running from my mistakes, hiding my choice, and slogging through the aftermath. Come with me as I discover a new truth about an old choice. Join me as I struggle with guilt and heartfelt shame, knowing the new truth. Observe the aftermath.What choice would you have made? What choice would you recommend?

Im Fat And Nobody Cares
$20.61The stares, the mocking laughter, the hurt, and the pain; this is one woman’s journey of learning that being fat really does matter to everyone. In “I’m Fat and Nobody Cares”, Kathleen Frank tackles the many issues that face people who battle obesity and the reasons why they do. This is the author’s personal testimony of how she overcame sexual and emotional abuse, her constant struggle with weight and how she was able to find the Lord amidst every temptation to turn against Him.
Through her own battle and heartbreak, Kathleen attempts to uncover the roots of this rampant issue and bring to light the pain that she and many others have experienced through weight gain. She sheds light on the real reasons why many people have become obese and how there is hope for them. The author could have very easily used this book as an outlet for her emotions, anger especially, but instead this book is very tactfully written.
A rough childhood, two bumpy marriages with one ending in an affair that changed her life forever, Kathleen details her own struggle of weighing over 330 pounds and how through the love of Christ and the practical implementation of His Word in her life she has been able to come to terms with her weight and believe God for a miracle.

When The One You Love Is Gone
$12.99When a loved one dies, you don’t get over it, but you can move on.
The bad news is that we never fully “get over” the loss of those we hold most dear; we bear those scars to the grave. The good news is that God is at work in us turning our loss and pain into something beautiful. God can take the scars and the mess and the heartache of our lives– yours and mine– and use it to give new life, new life to us and new life to others.
God is not in the business of zapping our loved ones and stealing them away from us. But in a world where death waits for every person, God stands ready. God stands ready to receive our beloved dead as they cross over; and God stands ready to guide us through the saddest days, to walk with us through our grief, and to take us into places we never could have imagined places of hope and renewal. If God could take a cross and broken body and make of them redemption, God can take your pain and heartache and fashion them into new life.
This book is composed of the reflections that point to broader lessons that will help those who find themselves passing through grief, as well as the pastors, counselors, and friends whose job is to accompany the traveler.

Dying Death And Destiny
$15.00Too often, the somber inevitability of death and dying is something we push into the background of our everyday thoughts and actions-until it becomes something we can avoid no longer.
Because death will touch the life of everyone, it is essential, as a believer, that you possess the full confidence that when you, or your loved ones, meet this final reality, it is without fear or doubt of the life that awaits you beyond the grave.
Best-selling author Dr. Herbert Lockyer has provided this valuable resource to provide eternal assurance to comfort the Christian, and a message of hope for those who have not yet called on the name of Jesus Christ as their Savior.
As believers, we need not fear death. Thanks to the victory that was won on the cross, death is not a leap in the dark or a gateway into the great unknown, but a quick journey home to Christ, whose glorified body will be the pattern for our deathless new bodies.
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. (Revelation 1:18 KJV)
