Most would shy away from the title, expecting a great deal of sap and navel-gazing (shame on you), but this book is neither of those things. Elliot masterfully weaves real stories about the reality of loneliness from multiple contexts - some of hers and some from others - with Biblical truths that you can immediately reflect upon and apply. Moreover, these answers are real, no pithy statements or cliches. Elliot points you to the Bible, and reflects on the hard, yet tender truths. This book is for anyone that has to deal with the pain of loneliness - i.e., everyone. This will improve your walk with God, as well as how you minister to others. Loneliness comes over us sometimes as a sudden tide. It is one of the terms of our humanness, and, in a sense, therefore, incurable. Elisabeth Elliot says, "Yet I have found peace in my loneliest times not only through acceptance of the situation, but through making it an offering to God, who can transfigure it into something for the good of others." This book is for the married, for the not-yet-married, and for the used-to-be married. Analogies are drawn from the human life cycle of birth, puberty, adolescence, marriage, and death to show that each crisis is death to the old life and the gateway to the new one. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Whether through the death of a loved one, divorce or estrangement in a marriage, or by being a single person in a world of couples and families, loneliness eventually comes to us all. Elisabeth Elliot lost her first husband to murder in the South American jungle and her second to the ravages of cancer. She has felt the deep pain of loss. In The Path of Loneliness, Elliot gives hope to the lonely through tender reflections on God's love for us and his plans to bless us. She tackles this difficult topic with grace and faith, showing readers how to make peace with loneliness and grow through it. No library descriptions found. |
