Tim Challies: Seasons of Sorrow

Seasons of Sorrow
Zondervan, 2022
By Tim Challies

WHO: Tim Challies, an author, pastor and blogger at Challies.com.

HE SAYS: “The purest joy and the fullest rest lie beyond time’s horizon.”

THE BIG IDEA: An honest and personal account of the pain, fear and doubts that often plague us in grief and a look at what it means to grieve as Christians.

THE PROGRESSION: This reflective book is divided into four sections each named for one of the seasons. The author starts with the death of his son, then takes readers on a yearlong journey through what he calls the “ministry of sorrow,” showing them how to grieve as those who have real hope in Jesus. 

“As I blessed him in the giving, I will bless him in the taking, for he is good all the time and all the time he is good.”

It is easy to say our goal is to tell others about Jesus, but we often skip the step of asking God to make this possible.

Can We Be Unified Even When We Disagree?

As important as unity is for the people of God today, it is also elusive. Especially as the culture divides around us, it is easier to articulate our differences than our similarities.
