Produktbeschreibung
Are you grappling with self-doubt or feeling disheartened about your work or ministry? Do you question the purpose of your daily tasks or the impact of your acts of service, compassion, or justice-seeking? Do you ever wonder if your efforts to care for, serve, visit, pray with, or assist others truly make a difference? You're not alone. As a father, husband, bi-vocational church elder leader, mentor, lawyer, workplace leader, preacher, writer, missions mobilizer, social service practitioner, advocate, and friend, I too wrestle with the heavy burden of perceived failure in fulfilling these roles. So, what keeps us going? How can we persevere in faith, discipleship, vocation, and ministry? Why should we persist in embodying justice and mercy in a culture riddled with division, conflict, existential despair, climate anxiety, and even talk of species suicide? What can we cling to when hopelessness threatens to overwhelm us? In this book, I intertwine insights from Scripture, theology, philosophy, theoretical physics, and personal experience into a comprehensive reflection. My hope is that this work will serve as a comforting companion to fellow pilgrims navigating similar struggles.
