Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'It is said that the true test of a society is how it treats its most vulnerable members.'As many as one in four girls and one in six boys experience sexual abuse during childhood, and it's estimated that as many as half of the incidents are neverreported. This means that countless millions in our societies, both children and adults, carry this complex, often hidden pain. What does the path to healing look like for survivors And how can ministry leaders, pastors, and counselors best help them as they walk this difficult road Drawing on both his own experience and his wife's experience as survivors of childhood sexual abuse, minister and lecturer Tim Hein offers his expertise, practical guidance, and empathy--for both ministry leaders and survivors themselves. How can we best respond when a survivor shares their secret with us Where can survivors turn for encouragement when the road to recovery seems so long and lonely Hein presents clinical data and resources alongside pastoralwisdom and care, addressing both psychological and spiritual aspects of sexual abuse.Both for those who have suffered sexual abuse and those in a position to help them, this book is a rich resource. Filled with both sober truths and the hope of Christ, it calls survivors to take courage and walk unafraid down the road of healing.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In many ways, Proverbs is similar to the wisdom literature of the wider ancient Near East. However, while the book initially appears to consist primarily of practical advice, wisdom is grounded in a relationship with God. In this replacement Tyndale Commentary, Lindsay Wilson shows how the first nine chapters provide a reading guide for the many proverbs in subsequent chapters; and how the fear of the Lord, choosing wisdom not folly, and having our characters formed by wisdom are crucial for understanding Proverbs as Christian Scripture and living out our faith in daily life.The Tyndale Commentaries are designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means. The Introduction to each book gives a concise but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original setting, and purpose. Following a structural Analysis, the Commentary takes the book section by section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on individual verses and problems of interpretation. Additional Notes provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties. In the new Old Testament volumes, the commentary on each section of the text is structured under three headings: Context, Comment, and Meaning. The goal is to explain the true meaning of the Bible and make its message plain.
