What more could I want for my next birthday than three books–especially if they are my own books! On August 1, my birthday, Beyond the Suffering will be released by Baker Books. That same day, BMH Books will release the revised third editions of Soul Physicians and Spiritual Friends. Quite the birthday present.
All three books, though unique in their own way, have one guiding theme: using the Word of God and the history of the Christian church to relate God’s truth to our daily lives and ministry.
Soul Physicians provides a unique theology of Christian living.
Spiritual Friends builds upon this theology by offering a training manual for developing 22 skills of biblical counseling.
Beyond the Suffering highlights how lay and pastoral African Americans practiced soul care and spiritual direction to move one another beyond the horrible suffering of enslavement to a place of healing hope through Christ’s resurrection power.
Yep, a pretty nice birthday present!
