The Church in the Wilderness

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Where do we turn when all we know and understand is stolen from our lives? Some have turned to family, friends, or jobs as the source of healing after tragedy. Others prefer alcohol, drugs or other abusive behaviors that promise to hide the pain in our traumatized lives. Following these paths, we enter into lives of denial. Insisting that all is ok, we push ourselves to keep moving forward. In His mercy, these paths will prove fruitless thus forcing us to dig deeper and seek harder for better sources of recovery. Trauma in our lives has the ability to turn our hearts into burnt out buildings where no life can exist. In our human attempts to deal with the pain, we become self-focused and self-worshipping. Terms such as "the human spirit" and the "decency of man" become familiar but false gods that we turn to in hopes of change. This book takes the reader on a journey through one family's exodus from tragedy and trauma into life. It does not present the reader with the perfect way to walk this path nor does it provide a "how to" recipe for success. The author has willingly opened up her heart to a sincere picture of what it was like for her and her family to live in the wilderness of fear, anger and neglect. She describes candidly the effects of her own traumatized heart on her husband and children as well as the often difficult and imperfect journey to real healing love in Jesus Christ. Theirs is not a story of religion but a story of truth that penetrates social, economic and religious traditions with His penetrating light of love. It is a book that asks of the reader to be as honest and sincere with the hope that in allowing Christ to switch our own story line we too might find what we have been looking for. Those who love the prophetic gifts, spiritual maps and a few great pictures of a family who found real joy in Jesus will find this book to be worthwhile. It will challenge and affirm, question and warn, but ultimately the story it tells will offer hope in the wilderness.

Autorenporträt

Courtney Redelsheimer grew up moving around the country and the world. She first met the Lord at a youth camp in Pittsburgh, PA when she was 15 years old. This encounter would prove to be a door of hope as Courtney began a long, downward path that led her through drugs, alcohol, bulimia and abuse. In 2003 she answered Jesus who had been knocking on the door of her heart for many ears. She asked Him to become her Savior and Lord and began putting the pieces of her heart in His hands. Courtney lives in Minnesota with her husband, John Sr. and their family. She holds a BA degree in history and an MA degree in Education. Courtney taught and trained in the public schools for 15 years and now home schools the couple's two youngest sons, John Jr. and Peter. She and her husband are licensed and ordained ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As leaders of Among Us Ministries, they have watched God birth His joy from ashes in people's hearts and lives. Together they run a publishing company and Acts2Church which they pastor from their home in Plymouth, MN.
