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.”

Right Gear, Right Time

Keeping the gospel central is what keeps a church healthy and growing, not extravagant AVL productions.

It Takes Everyone

When every member shares the work, the whole body is better for it.

The School Choice Debate

Just because you send your kids to a Christian school does not guarantee they will serve Jesus, and just because you send your kids to a public school does not guarantee they will rebel against him.
