Grieving with Hope: Leaning on Jesus "Grief is inevitable. Grieving well is not. Grieving with Hope: Leaning on Jesus shines a light along this difficult path and provides the kind of spiritual and emotional encouragement needed on this painful journey. Chalked full of relevant Scripture passages, authentic prayers, and insightful reflections, this small book cuts through the clutter so often accompanying grief and provides helpful perspective to the broken hearted when it is most desperately needed. Both as a minister and professional counselor, I highly recommend it to anyone who has encountered the loss of a loved one." - Rev. Mike Schumacher Assoc. Pastor/Dir of Counseling, Houston, TX "Grieving with Hope acknowledges with gentleness and compassion the emotions a person experiences with the death of a loved one. During a time when even little things seem overwhelming, this book walks alongside someone with the simple truths of God's Word. In a society where people often feel pressure to quickly "move on" in their grief, this book gives permission to experience it, recognizing the pain and sorrow, while sharing hope and promise we have in Jesus." - Cheryl Sell Director of Care Ministry, Collinsville, IL "Grieving with Hope: Leaning on Jesus by Tim Wesemann is one of the finest and most Scripturally comprehensive booklets I’ve encountered to help Christians to understand and face one of life’s most challenging experiences: grief. Mr. Wesemann addresses the issue of grief, and all its multiple aspects, in a very straightforward, compassionate, AND helpful manner, speaking to the necessity of going THROUGH grief and not around it. Providing numerous examples from the Holy Word, Grieving with Hope will become an indispensable and essential piece of literature for any pastor to share with their grief-stricken parishioners." - Dennis Heck, Hospital Chaplain Crystal City, MO "Once again Tim Wesemann comes through with a creatively written response to the most difficult situation in life: the death of a loved one. He finds just the right words where many of us find it very difficult to do so. This book is a perfect way to provide an ongoing ministry to those who are grieving." - Tom Eggebrecht Pastor, Milwaukee, WI Swashbuckling Faith: Exploring for Treasure with Pirates of the Caribbean "Who knew that Jack Sparrow (excuse me, CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow) could be such a great example of faith for us all? Tim Wesemann, that's who. And with characteristic warmth and insight, Tim delivers a veritable treasure trove of wisdom and piratey-good fun that's not only entertaining to read—it draws you closer to God. Thanks, Tim, for writing Swashbuckling Faith. You make your mateys proud." —Mike Nappa, Bestselling and award-winning author of The Prayer of Jesus and The Courage to be Christian "Like the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, Tim Wesemann’s Swashbuckling Faith is funny and whimsical with just a touch of craziness. What Tim adds to this mix is a vast treasure trove of relevant and practical spiritual insights. So, flip back your eye-patch and settle into your favorite hammock. It’s time for a different sort of devotional meditations—ones that take your heart onto high seas while feeding your soul with the water of life. Excellent book!" —Dr. Timothy Paul Jones Pastor and author of Finding God in a Galaxy Far, Far Away "Only a lunatic would dream up the idea of drawing spiritual lessons from a pirate movie. Fortunately, just when we needed a good lunatic, Tim Wesemann leaped aboard ship and shivered a few timbers (or whatever pirates do). Swashbuckling Faith is a fresh, funny, and surprisingly rich book that falls somewhere between a devotional and a pirate manual. There's buried treasure in these pages, me hearties, and if yer knows what's good fer yer soul, you'll commence diggin' in! An excellent book for a teenager, or anyone with an adventurous heart and a longing for spiritual swordplay. Arrrrr!" —Dave Meurer, Author of Good Spousekeeping and If You Want Breakfast in Bed, Sleep in the Kitchen You don’t have to be a fan of the “Pirates” movies to find great treasure between the pages of Tim Wesemann’s Swashbuckling Faith. Full of life-changing, priceless gems from God’s Word, Swashbuckling Faith entertains all through the treasure hunt with hilarious observations and challenging insights. You’ll be “hooked”! As a fellow St. Louisan, let me just say, “Pardon me while I stand up and applaud!” —Rhonda Rhea, Radio personality, humor columnist, author of Who Put the Cat in the Fridge Shiver me timbers! Swashbuckling Faith offers up booty of God-truths that even a landlubber like me can relate to. While the read is pure fun, the truths are heart-deep. As a parent of teens and preteens I can’t wait to share these briny depths of faith and inspiration with my family! —Tricia Goyer, award-winning author of Life Interrupted and Generation NeXt Parenting Jack Bauer’s Having a Bad Day: An Unauthorized Investigation of Faith in 24: Season One Tim Wesemann is not just thinking outside the box, he
has blown the sides right off the box. Relevant and unique, this book
grabbed me from the start, and made one of my all time favorite shows,
24, come alive in a way I'd never imagined it could. I highly recommend
it to any fan of the show. 24 held my husband, my teens . . . okay, me too . . . captive as we eagerly anticipated the next episode. Jack Bauer’s Having a Bad Day highlights the drama and capsulates truth. Not truth as seen on TV, but Truth as witnessed in God’s Word. The clock is ticking down . . . I’m off to share these inspiring messages with the special agents in my life! —Tricia Goyer, award-winning author of Life Interrupted and Generation NeXt Parenting If Jack Bauer had had Tim Wesemann's wonderful book,
his day would not have been nearly as bad . With spiritual insights and
wry humor, Tim draws lessons from Jack's life that the man from CTU never
envisioned, but which I found enriching and uplifting. A faith-filled
delight for any 24 fan. GIFT BOOKS —Sally Taylor, DCM, Centreville UMC, CTA Customer *************** I'm always looking for a great new recipe for my family. Well I found one.
