There's a saying that each child is a thought in the mind of God. But even if we believe this, and approach the children entrusted to us with the reverence that such a belief ought to instill, we may often feel helpless - whether in the face of a two-year-old's tantrum or a teenager's silence. In this little book, two fathers (themselves a father and son) share their thoughts on the essence of bringing up children. What's more, the authors are the Blumhardts, whose huge contribution to 20th century theology, especially Karl Barth, is now being more widely recognized.

End each day of the year peacefully by turning to God with a prayer and a Bible passage.

We want to turn to God at the end of each day, but often don't find the words to express our deepest feelings and longing. This collection of prayers is one of the few daily devotionals especially intended for use in the evening.

Blumhardt's words bespeak a certainty in God's nearness. The peace that flows from them comes from an unshakeable conviction that God's kingdom is indeed on the way. In stormy and challenging times like our own, most of us need this reassurance frequently,...

Bad days are one thing - everyone has them now and then. But what about the darker clouds that settle over a life for weeks or even months at a time? What about separation and divorce, prolonged illness and hospitalization? What about the loss of a friend or a parent, the absence of a child or a spouse?

For the friend or family member who just isn't coping, no matter what you say, the sturdy simplicity of this little volume offers something most well-meaning sympathy cards forget: a gentle insistence that there is still a God who watches over all, and a stubborn faith that...

Der wurttembergische Theologe und Seelsorger Johann Christoph Blumhardt (1805-1880), von den einen kritiklos verehrt, von anderen als damonenglaubiger Wunderheiler verspottet, schildert in seinen Briefen, Tagebuchern und Schriften die als Seelsorger gemachten Erfahrungen. Die vorliegende Auswahl aus der vom Editor publizierten Gesamtausgabe der Korrespondenz Blumhardts (7 Bande 1993-2001, uber 2.800 Dokumente) gibt ein Bild der Blumhardtschen Anschauungen vom Ursprung der Krankheiten, von der Macht des Gebets, von geistlichem Neuanfang und Heilungen seelischer und korperlicher Gebrechen. Das...

These sixty short daily reflections, each based on a verse from the Bible, will guide a believer facing serious sickness--and his or her family--to a rock-solid faith and trust in the will of God. With confidence in the healing power of God and the possibility of miracles, the Blumhardts, a father-son team of pastors renowned for their healing ministry, point us away from our troubles and toward a Creator who is supremely wise and good and wants the best for each of us.

In a world where medical advances seem to promise a cure for everything, it's tempting to believe that we...

The 40 short, pithy meditations in this collection witness to the fact that the birth of Jesus is more than history for those who feel their need of him.

Christmas is the season of joy for good reason: it is the news of a savior being born, of light breaking into darkness, of God's peace and goodwill to all. But joy is more than merriment. For those who only want to have a good time or a feeling of togetherness, Christmas brings a temporary feeling of cheer. But for those who feel bankrupt, without real meaning or hope - either for themselves or for the world - Christmas can...

Given the number of people who've been "saved," you'd think the world was becoming a brighter place. It could be, too, if more people would grasp the joy of losing themselves in service to God and each other. People like Christoph Blumhardt, who, in his quest to get to the essentials of faith, burns away the religious trappings of modern piety like so much chaff.

Blumhardt writes with unabashed fervor, but his passion encourages rather than intimidates. His witness influenced theological giants like Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Karl Barth. But Action in Waiting is not...

A pastor's frank advice for Christians who want to bring the gospel to their neighbors.

Gold Medal Winner, 2016 Illumination Book Award in ministry/mission, Independent Publishers

How can Christians represent the love of Christ to their neighbors (let alone people in foreign countries) in an age when Christianity has earned a bad name from centuries of intolerance and cultural imperialism? Is it enough to love and serve them? Can you win their trust without becoming one of them? Can you be a missional Christian without a church?

This provocative book, based on a...
