Synopsis

As the Olympic athletes discovered this summer, the secret to winning a gold medal is not just starting well, it's finishing well. We usually start our Christian race with great enthusiasm, but the challenge is to finish faithfully. How can we keep motivated for service, maintain our commitment to mission, persevere under pressure and grow in our spiritual lives? The theme for the 2012 Keswick Convention was 'Going the Distance: Living in the Light of the Future'. During the three weeks of convention we looked at the Bible's promises of Christ's return and our future glory, and considered how these Bible truths equip us for discipleship and encourage us to keep running the Christian race well. This yearbook includes a selection of talks given during the 2012 Convention: Bible teaching from Simon Manchester, Christopher Ash, Mike Raiter, Chris Sinkinson, Dominic Smart, Calisto Odede and Ian Coffey to help you run your race and keep 'Going the Distance'.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'It means so much to read Christian thinking on this topic. The authors tackle the complexities of infertility in a way that I found both supportive and challenging. I hope this helps fellow Christians talk more openly, and in a more informed and compassionate way. I wish this had been available to my husband and me earlier in our journey.' --Becca O Brien, adoptive mother

'Honest, thoughtful, practical, relevant, and biblical. Written out of painful first-hand experience and imbued with practical Christian wisdom. I highly recommend this sensitive and informative book on such an important but rarely discussed problem. It should be essential reading for couples facing the silent pain of infertility and for pastors, Christian counsellors and all those who seek to help and support.' --John Wyatt, Professor of Ethics and Perinatology at University College London and author

'Everyone knows someone who is childless, but this book presents a rare opportunity to get a glimpse of how it really feels, what to say and what not to say. For those who suff er or struggle with infertility and its implications, it shows how to grieve but still be godly and how, in a way that is neither glib nor trite, to replace self-pity with well-founded trust in a good God.' --Ann Benton, pastor's wife, speaker and author

Présentation de l'éditeur

Waiting for a baby is a painful reality for many.

As long months pass the well-meaning optimism of friends starts to ring hollow. The emphasis on family at the weekly church service becomes an unwelcome reminder of what's missing. God seems reluctant to bless.

Using a wealth of real life stories this deeply caring book offers practical resources to address the pain and encourages biblical thinking childlessness and infertility.

'We have learnt that we are not immune from problems and we grow as Christians as a result of them. Most importantly, no matter how awful and difficult it seems, God is in control of what is happening to us, even if we most definitely are not.'
