Christ and Calamity: Grace and Gratitude When the Days Are Evil by Harold L. Sen

Description: Christ and Calamity by Harold L. Senkbeil 2021 Christianity Today Beautiful Orthodoxy Award of MeritLord, do you not care if we perish?Thats what the frightened disciples shouted to Jesus as he slept in the stern of a storm-tossed boat. In the midst of suffering and uncertainty, were all prone to think that God has forgotten us, he doesnt care, or hes powerless to do anything.In Christ and Calamity, Harold L. Senkbeil speaks pastorally to our suffering and uncertainty. Senkbeil shows Gods constant and faithful grace to us. With Paul he encourages us: "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (1 Thess 5:16-18).Calamities come in many different sizes, and God addresses them all in his word and by his Spirit. Even when we dont see or feel it, God is always faithful."If I dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me" (Ps 139:9-10).The disciples faith in the midst of the storm may have been weak, but Jesus was mighty to save. And he will save you, too. No matter how small your faith, you can count on him to hear your anguished cry and to answer.

The book is a gem!"--Michael Horton, professor at Westminster Seminary California, author of The Christian Faith"Hal Senkbeil has stared the problem of suffering in the face and hewn from the pages of the divine Scriptures, the sweetest cross-filled consolations."--Matthew C. Harrison, president of the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod"This is a book to read and to read again whenever we need it, a book to give away to people who are hurting. This book will be a classic."--Gene Edward Veith, provost emeritus of Patrick Henry College, author of The Spirituality of the Cross"As we live out our lives in this broken world, we are never far from pain, never far from calamity. Each of us passes through the dark valley not one time, but again and again. The Christian tradition has many trustworthy guides for those difficult times, and Im glad to commend Christ and Calamity as another that will serve Gods people as we endure this calamity, or that one, or the inevitable ones to come."--Tim Challies"In this excellent little book, Harold Senkbeil reminds us that in the midst of calamity, God is where hes always been: near to us in the Christ given to us in the gospel. ...
