Christopher Ash Bücher

„Jede Seite ist barmherzig, treffend, ist reich und weise – und vor allem durchdrungen mit dem Evangelium.“ Gary Millar Jeden Monat verlassen tausende Menschen den christlichen Dienst. Sie haben nicht ihre Liebe zu Christus verloren oder ihren Wunsch, ihm zu dienen. Aber aus irgendeinem Grund sind sie erschöpft und können einfach nicht weitermachen. Christopher Ash ist mit dieser Erfahrung nur zu sehr vertraut. Als Pastor einer wachsenden Gemeinde, und in der Rolle, andere Menschen für den Dienst zu unterrichten, fand er sich einige Male kurz vor einem Burnout wieder und betreute viele jüngere Pastoren, die das Ende ihrer Möglichkeiten erreicht hatten. Seine Weisheit wurde in dieses kurze, erschwingliche Buch gebrannt, in der er eine vernachlässigte Wahrheit offenbart sowie sieben Schlüssel, die sich daraus ergeben. Wenn wir sie richtig verstehen und in unser Leben als Christen einbauen, die dafür brennen, dem Herrn zu dienen, werden sie uns dazu helfen, uns selbst vor dem Burnout zu schützen und weiterhin für Gottes Reich und Herrlichkeit zu arbeiten.

Life can be hard, and sometimes it seems like God doesn't even care. When faced with difficult trials, many people have resonated with the book of Job--the story of a man who lost nearly everything, seemingly abandoned by God.In this thorough and accessible commentary, Christopher Ash helps us glean encouragement from God's Word by directing our attention to the final explanation and ultimate resolution of Job's story: the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Intended to equip pastors to preach Job's important message, this commentary highlights God's grace and wisdom in the midst of redemptive suffering.Taking a staggeringly honest look at our broken world and the trials that we often face, Ash helps us see God's sovereign purposes for adversity and the wonderful hope that Christians have in Christ.
