When God’s People Suffer–Emotionally

January 20, 2010 – 12:53 am

As editor of CTA’s monthly Grab & Go newsletter, I just put the February issue to bed. If you’re subscribed, you’ll be receiving your copy in your E-mail box the first Tuesday in February.
While it’s on my mind, I wanted to alert you to the fact that Tim Wesemann wrote the cover article for the February issue, focusing [...]

Not Sure What to Say to a Grieving Friend? Here’s Help!

November 4, 2009 – 11:02 am

Have you ever felt awkward about talking with a friend who has lost a loved one? We all probably have. The good news for us as Christians is that Jesus is the master when it comes to directing our steps. He encourages us to get ourselves out of the way and reach out to the [...]

Getting Real

March 12, 2009 – 9:49 am

Let’s get real. Sometimes, I feel numb inside and stumble through days with little direction or motivation. Lately, the days have turned into weeks, even months. If you really want to know, this has been an entire winter of discontent. My apologies to Shakespeare.
Please don’t think I’ve lost my way or that I’m ready to [...]

Testimony – Grieving with Hope

March 2, 2009 – 11:30 am

CTA received this comment from a customer:
“I recently ordered copies of “Facing Illness with Hope” and “Grieving with Hope” from CTA. I shared a copy of “Grieving with Hope” with a recent widow from our church. I knew she needed encouragement as she had not returned to church since her husband died several [...]

Vision for Grieving with Hope and Facing Illness with Hope – Part Two

February 28, 2009 – 11:32 am

In a recent blog entry I shared about the vision CTA and I share for ministry using Grieving with Hope and Facing Illness with Hope within congregations. Expand that vision beyond the local congregation. Let’s start with Facing Illness with Hope . Do you know or yourself serve as a hospital chaplain? [...]

Vision for Grieving with Hope & Facing Illness with Hope – Part One

February 26, 2009 – 4:30 pm

I hope people catch the vision and the endless possibilities for ministry when they purchase and read CTA’s two books, Grieving with Hope and Facing Illness with Hope. I’m continually astonished that they’ve been priced lower than most sympathy cards and even come with an envelope for mailing. Today people often send [...]

“Grieving with Hope” and “Facing Illness with Hope”

February 20, 2009 – 10:00 am

I don’t know that I’ve had a greater passion for anything I’ve had published than I have for Grieving with Hope and Facing Illness with Hope. And I love that the team at CTA thought of special details when publishing these resources. We knew the books couldn’t be long or cumbersome. People who are sick [...]
