Isaiah 53:4 tells us, "Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows." Because Jesus has redeemed us from grief and sorrow, we are not obligated to respond to the tests and storms of life like those in the world.
Too often, believers have taken their cues and views on tragedies from the world and have opened the door to depression, grief, and sorrow. When a Christian's mind is renewed with the Word of God, they know too much to respond to tests and the storms of life like everyone else.
People become entrenched in a flow of depression, grief, and sorrow when they operate out of the emotional and mental arenas, but if believers will stay in the spirit arena, the faith arena, they will be able to yield to and draw on the faith, peace, and joy that is in them.
In this important book, Nancy Dufresne teaches from first-hand experience the all-conquering force of peace. Even death is no match for the mighty force of peace that is available to every believer. Find out how to take your place in the peace that Jesus left you as an inheritance and live totally free from grief and sorrow.
This book is for anyone facing any time of mental challenge brought on by a life-altering event. It reminds you of the necessity of having the right perspective about why we are called to this life. It teaches and empowers one simultaneously the power of remaining in the spirit/faith arena and the danger and defeat offered in the mental arena. A continual read indeed!
The book offers valuable insights for dealing with grief, but it also removes some Scripture from its context to support its points. It is essential to read this book alongside a Bible, as doing otherwise could lead to misunderstandings.
That said, the book does provide helpful guidance for those who are grieving. Just be sure to approach it with caution and keep your Bible close at hand.
