A Theology of Suffering Sorrow is inescapable. And the following questions found in the hearts and minds of all human beings are equally inescapable: Why is there suffering and sorrow?

Treasures of Darkness (eBook)

There are places in the spiritual realm – dimensions in God, which are “dark” to us until He brings us into those depths and reveals more of Himself to us through experiences with Himself which gift us with “Treasures of Darkness”.

But if we “join ourselves to the Lord and become of one

Brokenness (eBook)

Introduction We human beings naturally perceive weakness and insecurity to be a “problem”. I believe that we can see from Scripture that, in Christ, weakness and insecurity can actually be a blessing. It is an opportunity to access the life and strength of Jesus Christ. When we offer Him our weakness and insecurity, allowing Him to touch and heal. But we will not merely be “restored” to what human beings normally perceive as being “well-adjusted” – God has something better
