God’s Healing for Life’s Losses: How to Find Hope When You’re Hurting An interview with author Robert Kellemen What’s the “big idea” behind God’s Healing for Life’s Losses? Whatwould you like readers to take away from it? In a biblical sentence: youcan grieve with hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13). God’s Healing for Life’s Losses gives readers permission to grieveand offers a pathway toward hope. I want people to see their suffering fromGod’s perspective without denying the reality that suffering still hurts. Whatwould I like readers to take away? The title and subtitle say it best. I’d likereaders to walk away with God’s healing hope. What motivated you to write God’s Healing for Life’s Losses? Why did you choose to write this book? Myministry to real people with real hurts motivated me to write God’s Healing for Life’s Losses. Peoplequickly grow weary of Christian books that pretend. They’re tired of Christiancounselors and well-meaning friends who dispense far too much “happiness allthe time, wonderful peace of mind.” They’re also gravely disappointed when theanswers to their questions about suffering reflect more of the wisdom of theworld than of the truth of God’s Word. The purpose of the book, as the titleand sub-title suggest, is to assist people on their grief and growth journey tofind God’s healing hope in their hurts and losses. Lifeis filled with losses. God’s Word is filled with compassionate wisdom to helpus to find God in the midst of life’s pain. That’s ultimately my purpose inwriting the book: to help people to findGod even when they can’t find relief. God’sHealing for Life’s Losses offers no pabulum, trite platitudes, falsepromises, pretending, or “easy steps.” It is real and raw as it enters into theabyss of suffering and empathizes with the gravity of grinding affliction. And,like the Apostle Paul, it deals simultaneously with grieving and hoping (1 Thessalonians 4:13). |
