“Where was God when ____? How could God allow ____? Why?” These are the questions that flood our hearts and minds when the unimaginable happens. When things go horribly wrong and the world seems to be unraveling, how do you believe in God’s goodness? How do you cling to hope? Chad Veach directs readers away from clichéd Sunday school answers that fail to offer real comfort or provide faith-building insights. Instead, he draws from God’s promises in the Bible and from the story of his own daughter’s diagnosis of a devastating and debilitating disease to reveal simple, purposeful steps for dealing with pain. Resting in God’s love, remembering his past faithfulness, and realizing the distinction between having faith and clinging to hope are just some of these steps. Veach reminds us that because we know who God is, we know there is hope.

A Christian family enjoying life to the fullness and loving God is hit with tragedy. When they were coming back from a weeklong camping trip, just a mile from their home, a drunk driver hits them head on, hurting Chad and killing his wife. Leaving him to take care of their two children. Now Chad is living with the guilt, pain, and sorrow of his loss, at the same time trying to raise his two children, one with asthma and the other who is very sick and is in and out of the hospital. Then God steps on the scene and starts to work and heals his mind and heart. But it's up to Chad to walk through the open door that God provided, or will he close it and walk away? And can a woman named Chasity help heal the broken heart, as well as receive her own healing? Or will both refuse to take the chance at a promise of a new beginning?
Journeys that begin in brokenness rarely follow a straight road to healing. There are twists and turns--and setbacks--on the path of repentance. Night Driving tells the story of a pastor and seminary professor whose moral failures destroyed his marriage and career, left his life in ruins, and sent him spiraling into a decade-long struggle against God. Forced to fight the demons of his past in the cab of the semi-truck he drove at night through the Texas oil fields, Chad Bird slowly began to limp toward grace and healing. Drawing on his expertise as an Old Testament scholar, Bird weaves together his own story, the biblical story, and the stories of fellow prodigals as he peels back the layers of denial, anger, addiction, and grief to help readers come face-to-face both with their own identities and with the God who alone can heal them.
Almost every Christian will tell you that when you accept Jesus as your Savior, you receive eternal life; consequently, you get to go to Heaven.

In Possessors Of Life, Chad Gonzales reveals revolutionary truths about salvation that will manifest healing and miracles in your life. These truths will stop the frustrating cycle of working and waiting for healing and enable you to step into a life of grace and miracles flowing out of your union with Christ. Watch healing begin to manifest as you discover what you already possess in Christ.

Anna’s journey continues in this third book of the series, a riveting story of loss, pain, and sorrow as she navigates her garbage bag life as a child in the foster care system.
This accessible, biblical, and thoughtful work digests years of study and teaching into bite-sized sections. Van Dixhoorn's work is historical and practical in its focus. It deliberately presents readers with more than another survey of Reformed theology; it offers a guide to a particular text, considers its original proof-texts, and seeks to deepen our understanding of each paragraph of the Confession.
