Raise Your Ebenezer: A Field Guide to Suffering (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781966237051)

Do you need a new perspective on suffering?
What do we do when suffering seems to grab onto us and not let go? When we might know in our heads the pain will not last forever, but our hearts and souls have yet to realize this truth?

That's what Dr. Ted Goshorn addresses in Raise Your Ebenezer, a deeply personal field guide to suffering that arose out of his own wilderness of physical, emotional, and financial despair. In Hebrew, the word ebenezer means "stone of help," and that's exactly what this book is meant to do-help readers craft their own unique pathway to hope in the midst of difficulty.

A practical, spiritual handbook, every chapter contains a space for readers to log their own "Field Notes" to reflect and better understand how to trust God, how to make sense of the valley of suffering, how to survive in this wilderness, and ultimately, how to turn toward a future rooted in joy.

Whether you've picked up this book to help in your own suffering or as you care for a loved one, Ted's prayer is that you, too, can say to the forces of suffering, "God's not done with me yet!"Buy your copy of Raise Your Ebenezer today!
