Loneliness

Don’t Hate It or Waste It. Redeem It.

De: Steve DeWitt

Narrado por: Steve DeWitt

How the gospel of Jesus empowers us to redeem the deep ache of loneliness.

For years, Steve DeWitt was the only never married megachurch pastor in the United States. This put him in proximity to thousands of people, yet he lived his daily life alone. Over some 8,000 days as an adult single, and now eleven years of marriage, Pastor Steve has a unique perspective on solitude and aloneness. Loneliness addresses this pervasive ache from his personal experience and pastoral viewpoint.

In a time when loneliness is at an all-time high, this book—rich with biblical truth and practical help—speaks to all hearts. DeWitt explores the invitation of Jesus when our hearts feel alone and isolated. Writing on topics that affect us and the ones we love—such as loneliness and the gospel, loneliness and singleness, loneliness and marriage, and loneliness and leadership—he shows us the way out of our pain and into relational flourishing with God and others.

Is there a sweetness or a blessing offered in the valley of loneliness? DeWitt has discovered that there absolutely is. Loneliness doesn’t have to be our enemy. It can be the path God uses for our souls to experience the presence, promises, and power of Jesus Christ. Join Pastor Steve on a journey out of the ache and into love in his new book Loneliness.

God's Love Defeats Our Loneliness

My pastor quoted from this book in our current worship series on Christ like compassion, which is what prompted me to seek out and listen to this author's message.

I am passing thru a season of mourning over the sudden and intense loss of my fiance from a fluke accident. I of course have been combatting extreme loneliness. My church pastors have leaned into me with great love which has provided solace.

I was caught off guard with chapter 9 of this book in which pastoral loneliness was explained. I know that my grief pastor has a tremendously difficult job, and I will be letting him know about my understanding of what he deals with and that I will support him in his ministry any way I can.

I know I will be listening to this book repeatedly. I am already sending copies to friends that l know that they too, struggle with loneliness. I can't recommend this book enough.

Personally insightful

While I expected, and experienced, that this book would be pastorally helpful - as a fellow minister - I was grateful for how much personal application I experienced in this book. Certainly one for all pastors to read and re-read.
