INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY Matt Bierman, formerly a United States Army Ranger who once assisted the rescue mission of Jessica Lynch during the Iraq War, returned stateside under the throes of PTSD. Struggling to cope with the stresses of war, the break-up of his engagement, and the death of loved ones, he fell into a deep depression from which many worried he might never recover. Then on May 28, 2005, he was in an accident which forever changed his life. Jumping from a moving car his head hit the pavement at over 35 mph. As family and friends rushed to the hospital, the doctors revealed the bleak news: Matt had suffered severe brain trauma and other serious complications and would probably never wake again. He was induced into a coma and his parents were informed to prepare for his imminent death. Matt's perseverance and determination to live, however, stood strong. With the support of his family and friends, and the sheer iron will of his mother who absolutely refused the idea of his death, Matt Bierman awoke two months later. Throughout his recovery and the years which followed, he never stopped talking about the time during his coma when he walked along a clear blue river next to God. This book is inspired by, and is a compilation of the conversations Matt Bierman had that day; the day he walked and spoke with God. To this day Matt happily continues to spread God's message of Truth and Love.

New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet Timothy Keller—whose books have sold millions of copies to both religious and secular readers—explores one of the most difficult questions we must answer in our lives: Why is there pain and suffering? Walking with God through Pain and Suffering is the definitive Christian book on why bad things happen and how we should respond to them. The question of why there is pain and suffering in the world has confounded every generation; yet there has not been a major book from a Christian perspective exploring why they exist for many years. The two classics in this area are When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Rabbi Harold S. Kushner, which was published more than thirty years ago, and C. S. Lewis’s The Problem of Pain, published more than seventy years ago. The great secular book on the subject, Elisabeth Ku¨bler-Ross’s On Death and Dying, was first published in 1969. It’s time for a new understanding and perspective, and who better to tackle this complex subject than Timothy Keller? As the pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, Timothy Keller is known for the unique insights he shares, and his series of books has guided countless readers in their spiritual journeys. Walking with God through Pain and Suffering will bring a much-needed, fresh viewpoint on this important issue.

We want to be used by Him and to experience the peace and fulfillment He wants for us. Yet it’s all too easy to fall into living mechanically, with a rule-based approach to the Christian life, or to focus on getting what we want when we want it. Even when we want to be willing, saying yes to whatever God asks often feels scary, and the distractions of this world get in the way. Vivian Mabuni knows this all too well, but she’s discovered that open-handed living starts with an intentional posture of the heart. Through surrender to His will, we draw closer to God in a way that makes our day-to-day lives more purposeful, powerful, and pleasing to Him. With Vivian’s warm encouragement in Open Hands, Willing Heart, you’ll learn how to step out in courageous trust as you invite God to give and take—and move and work—in your life as He sees fit. Along the way you’ll discover true joy and serenity that will carry you through every circumstance.
