The Day I Walked with God


Book Description

INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY Matt Bierman, formerly a United States Army Ranger who once assisted the rescue mission of Jessica Lynch during the Iraq War, returned stateside under the throes of PTSD. Struggling to cope with the stresses of war, the break-up of his engagement, and the death of loved ones, he fell into a deep depression from which many worried he might never recover. Then on May 28, 2005, he was in an accident which forever changed his life. Jumping from a moving car his head hit the pavement at over 35 mph. As family and friends rushed to the hospital, the doctors revealed the bleak news: Matt had suffered severe brain trauma and other serious complications and would probably never wake again. He was induced into a coma and his parents were informed to prepare for his imminent death. Matt's perseverance and determination to live, however, stood strong. With the support of his family and friends, and the sheer iron will of his mother who absolutely refused the idea of his death, Matt Bierman awoke two months later. Throughout his recovery and the years which followed, he never stopped talking about the time during his coma when he walked along a clear blue river next to God. This book is inspired by, and is a compilation of the conversations Matt Bierman had that day; the day he walked and spoke with God. To this day Matt happily continues to spread God's message of Truth and Love.

Walking with God through Pain and Suffering


Book Description

New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet Timothy Keller—whose books have sold millions of copies to both religious and secular readers—explores one of the most difficult questions we must answer in our lives: Why is there pain and suffering? Walking with God through Pain and Suffering is the definitive Christian book on why bad things happen and how we should respond to them. The question of why there is pain and suffering in the world has confounded every generation; yet there has not been a major book from a Christian perspective exploring why they exist for many years. The two classics in this area are When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Rabbi Harold S. Kushner, which was published more than thirty years ago, and C. S. Lewis’s The Problem of Pain, published more than seventy years ago. The great secular book on the subject, Elisabeth Ku¨bler-Ross’s On Death and Dying, was first published in 1969. It’s time for a new understanding and perspective, and who better to tackle this complex subject than Timothy Keller? As the pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, Timothy Keller is known for the unique insights he shares, and his series of books has guided countless readers in their spiritual journeys. Walking with God through Pain and Suffering will bring a much-needed, fresh viewpoint on this important issue.




God Walk


Book Description

Drawing on Jesus's example of walking, bestselling author Mark Buchanan explores one of the oldest spiritual practices of our faith. What happens when we literally walk out our Christian life? We discover the joy of traveling at the speed of our soul. We often act as if faith is only about the mind. But what about our bodies? What does our physical being have to do with our spiritual life? When the Bible exhorts us to walk in the light, or walk by faith, or walk in truth, it means these things literally as much as figuratively. The Christian faith always involves walking out, as again and again we find the holy in the ordinary. "Come, follow me," Jesus said, and then he was off. The most obvious thing about Jesus's method of discipleship, in fact, is that he walked and invited others to walk with him. Jesus is always "on the way," "arriving," "leaving," "approaching," "coming upon." It's in the walking that his disciples are taught, formed, tested, empowered, and released. Part theology, part history, part field guide, God Walk explores walking as spiritual formation, walking as healing, walking as exercise, walking as prayer, walking as pilgrimage, suffering, friendship, and attentiveness. It is a book about being alongside the God who, incarnate in Jesus, turns to us as he passes by--always on foot--and says simply, "Come, follow me." With practical insight and biblical reflections told in his distinct voice, Buchanan provides specific walking exercises so you can immediately implement the practice of going "God speed." Whether you are walking around the neighborhood or hiking in the mountains, walking offers the potential to awaken your life with Christ as it revives body and soul.
