We Were Waiting to Die: Suffering As a Missionary For the Sake of the Name
“Tyler Markson shares about his own experience of suffering as a missionary in Central Asia, including an occasion on which he and his teammates expected to die after a grenade exploded in their compound. Reflecting on his experience, Markson identifies four biblical realities of suffering to help missionaries and all Christians respond to suffering faithfully and with hope in God’s promises. ”
When Sleep Won’t Come
“Those who struggle with sleep know what it’s like to be constantly looking for answers, and if not answers, then tips, tricks, or methods that might turn another wasted night into a good or at least reasonable one. Yet like so many things in life, insomnia so often seems to resist even our best attempts to defeat it.”
Fixing The Broken Rhythms Of Life
“Something will dictate the rhythm of your life. It may be the pressure of the clock; it may be the ten things needing to get done before you go to bed tonight; it may be whatever electronic impulse pulls you back toward your cell phone for the hundredth time today. But depending on what is dictating your rhythm, you’ll either be open to hearing the voice of God, or you’ll be so connected to other things that your only connection with Him is reduced to passing Him in the hallway, on your way to wherever you think you’re supposed to go next.”
