Have you suffered deep losses or feel God has let you down? Some believers turn away from God or maintain a surface relationship. They are trapped in the spiritual ditch of God’s mystery.

Other believers think they know God so well they carry him around in their back pockets, so to speak. They pull him out like a lucky penny expecting him to respond to their bidding. They are comfortably settled into the spiritual ditch of knowing about God.

When we think we know God well, He may surprise us—often in ways we don’t like.  In the book Living Between the Ditches: When God Makes No Sense readers learn to embrace both aspects of God’s nature: We can know God; God is mystery.

Throughout the book the author tells the ?ctional story of 30-something’s Layton and Amy Brooks. Layton journeys from the ditch of knowing about God to the ditch of feeling deserted by God. Stuck between an unreliable God—who Layton thinks has taken away all that he’s known or cared about—or no God at all, Layton struggles with his ex-wife Amy, his young daughter’s upcoming surgery, his father’s death, and his mother’s illness. Layton entices readers to think about spiritual ditches in their lives.

You will examine your own views of God, understand how spiritual ditches hamper your spiritual progress, and determine to stay on the narrow road to God’s house, avoiding the ditches.

Over the course of life, most people find themselves at least once facing a point where there is no turning back. You face a decision to take a certain path, and you go all in. Sometimes you make the decision, but sometimes the decision is made for you.

Eleven-year-old Madison was leaving a friend’s house on a Sunday afternoon when she was struck by lightning. A week later, the little girl—often called Smiley because of her cheerful, generous nature—was pronounced dead. Among the many loved ones she left behind was her grandmother Sheila KayTurner.

 

How are we to make sense of such a tragedy, as family members, as friends, but most of all, as Christians? Searching for books to help her understand and heal from her agonizing loss, Turner found them too clinical and turned instead to writing. She chronicles that first year without Madison, reflecting on their relationship and on the special way Madison touched everyone, from the little boy afraid of starting kindergarten, whom she befriended, to her youth minister. She also writes with painful honesty of Satan’s using Madison’s death to rekindle resentment and jealousy within her family. Yet Turner chose to make Madison her example and her inspiration, knowing that the greatest tribute she could pay to her precious granddaughter was to exemplify her loving spirit.

 

This deeply personal yet universally human account not only speaks to the heart but also reveals surprising insights. Turner’s journey is ultimately one of hope, as she moves from searing grief to the certainty of God’s hand at work. Whether you’re in the depths of your own grieving or want to understand the experience of a loved one suffering from loss, you can find a renewed faith and sense of purpose in Sheila and Madison’s story.

When Lucinda Ulbricht’s baby boy was born prematurely and died two hours later, she didn’t know how she would survive the grief. Already living with the confusing nightmare of an abusive relationship, she tried escaping from the pain with alcohol, sinking deeper and deeper into depression and anxiety. Finally it grew so severe that she began asking God to come to her in the night and take her home. God did come to her in the night … but not with the intention she expected. Instead of taking her home with Him, He spoke to Lucinda clearly and firmly about the steps He wanted her to take.

That was in early 1995, and Lucinda’s life hasn’t been the same since. Make no mistake, though: although she immediately felt more peaceful, she had to learn how to follow God’s middle-of-the-night directions in her daily life. Through this process, she experienced the joy and healing that comes from turning everything over to God and trusting Him completely.

Difficult as it is for us to comprehend, God really is capable of a personal and unique relationship with each of us and is eager to shower us with blessings and acts of love. Lucinda includes practical tips for coping with addiction, loss, and abusive relationships as well as cultivating a richer, deeper intimacy with God. Regardless of your circumstances, her story will give you hope and help you on your journey toward the joyful life God intended for you.

Christ sets us free, yet we are slaves of Christ. This spiritual paradox sounds contradictory. Can a freed person be a slave? Can a slave be free? Is this religious mumbo-jumbo? People have only two choices: we can be in bondage to self, sin, and the law, or we can serve Christ, who conquered self and sin and fulfilled the law. This understanding will help Christians deal with liberty in Christ as freedom to serve. The book interweaves the fictional story of a doctor convicted of a felony, imprisoned, and then transferred to a halfway house. Parker Sloan Hamilton learns what it means to be free in Christ and helps the reader explore the possibilities as well.

In Wake Up, author Peggy White Russ shares her experiences as a pastor’s wife—experiences that led to an intense spiritual unrest and subsequent loss of the vision she once had for the ministry. Peggy reveals how she began her pursuit of the heart of God through a lengthy fast that uncluttered her spirit and allowed her to become amazingly sensitive to God. Just days before Christmas in 2008, she heard a specific call from God: “Wake up, Peggy. Wake up.” When she answered this summons from God, she could clearly see the church stepping into the end times. Peggy shares the beginning of her in-depth research on end-time prophecy and some of the material she used to teach her class about the prophetic events happening in this era of time.

Wake Up reveals God’s love toward the seeking soul—lifting them from the rubble of trials and then enlisting them into His end-time army of triumphant, spiritually aware warriors. Follow Peggy down the path of her discontentment and trails to the mountaintop of spiritual awakening.
