Library Recommendation of the Week On November 3, 2020, Tim and Aileen Challies received the shocking news that their son Nick had died. A twenty-year-old student at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, he had been participating in a school activity with his fiancée, sister, and friends, when he fell unconscious and collapsed to the ground. In ‘Seasons of Sorrow,’ Tim shares real-time reflections from the first year of grief—through the seasons from fall to summer—introducing readers to what he describes as the “ministry of sorrow.” It will benefit both those working through sorrow and those comforting others. See how God is sovereign over loss and that he is good in loss Discover how you can pass through times of grief while keeping your faith Learn how biblical doctrine can work itself out even in life’s most difficult situations Understand how it is possible to love God more after loss than you loved him before Combining personal narrative, sound theology, and beautiful writing, this is a book for anyone who has loved and lost. You can find it in the counseling section of the library or ask the librarian.
LIBRARY HOURS: Sundays 9:15am-10:15am, Tuesdays 9-11am (during Bible Study) & Wednesdays 5-7pm.
